Bug Description
When using the Unity session with a dual monitor setup, the secondary display appear under the main display (at position 0,0 when it should be at 1920,0).
The monitor has to be moved using the NVidia settings panel but will happen again at next startup.
One thing to note is that when moved back to it's correct position, the secondary display has no wallpaper. It black at first but moving windows on that display will produce a nice "Windows 95" effect (the background doesn't redraw it self). Choosing a new wallpaper fixes this.
This behavior is exclusive to the Unity session, Gnome Shell behaves correctly.
