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.
