I found this bug on launchpad from about five years ago and it looks like it hasn't been resolved yet.https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/732867It presents a workaround for applying the settings. I haven't tried it yet, but it would be nice if this could be fixed. Is there someone who could point me in the right direction for this?dbus-send --type="method_call" --print-reply --session --dest=org.gnome.SettingsDaemon /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR.ApplyConfigurationOn Mon, Mar 28, 2016 at 9:44 AM, Josh Stratton <strattonbrazil gmail com> wrote:My machine is a Thinkpad T444s running Ubuntu 14.04. When my machine is docked, I have a large monitor that is configured to be on the left side to match it's physical location. I also have this monitor configured to use the activities bar.This works well until I undock and redock the laptop. When I undock the active screen becomes just the laptop and all windows move over there. That's expected. However, when I redock the machine, the large monitor is now on the right side in the virtual layout and the laptop is still holds the activity monitor.When I turn off the computer and then turn it back on while docked all the display properties are preserved as I would expect, so it just makes me a bit reluctant to undock the machine while it's on.Where is the code that maintains the display configurations? Can someone point me to how this configuration is stored and see if I can somehow preserve this state for the windows and screen?-Josh
