Description

Hi,

I recently dist-upgraded from XUbuntu 19.04 to 19.10.

In xfce4-display-settings, there is a new tab/panel called "advanced", that allows to save/restore a multi-monitor arrangement&config. This is a very nice feature, that I needed for a long time.

Unfortunately, it does not work as intended...

Indeed, I have an external monitor positioned on the left of my laptop, both with the 1920x1080 resolution. I saved this arrangement&config, but when I put the laptop in suspend mode with the lid, then reopen it, the configuration that is restored is with the external monitor on the right and with a resolution of 800x600... This has nothing to do with the config that I saved!!!

$ xfce4-display-settings --version xfce4-display-settings 4.14.1 (Xfce 4.14)
