In xubuntu-desktop, I have checked "Configure new displays when connected"

When I connect a new display, I am given options from Use 1st screen, mirror displays, extend desktop, or use the 2nd screen.

I would like to Mirror Displays, but that option is ghosted in the connection dialog.

I can then hit "Advanced" and check "Use this display" on each display and then check "Mirror displays" and then the displays mirror but the Resolution gets set to 1920x1200.

I then have to manually set each "mirrored" display individually to 3840x2160.
