Description David Jaša 2011-01-20 17:56:45 UTC

Description of problem:
When using "switch user" feature, the new X server uses default monitor layout instead that of already-running X server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.7.7-28.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log in as user1
2. change monitor layout to non-default one (e.g from extended desktop to single monitor)
3. click "switch user"
  
Actual results:
new X starts with default layout (extended desktop in my case)

Expected results:
new X should keep settings of old X

Additional info:
My use case - docking station and wokstation are connected to the same monitor and I switch inputs with button on the monitor. I switch to workstation and laptop doesn't notice that, so I manually switch monitor layout on the laptop. Then I switch user and I can't see login screen because it "displays" on monitor, that I manually disabled earlier.
