Interestingly enough, the order was correct > when I logged in. *Your* settings are loaded when you log in, they're specific to you, and stored in your ~/.config/monitors.xml GDM runs as the gdm user, and it can have its monitor configuration settings set in /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml (gdm's home space is /var/lib/gdm). New users (ones that haven't previously configured any monitor settings for themselves), may end up inheriting the gdm settings as they log in. At least, that's been my experience. I dare say that X configuration settings are defaults underneath all of that - used if not otherwise configured, ignored once you customise your own settings. My experience has been that until you change the configuration, the default is for cloned screens - all displays show the same thing, simultaneously. Handy for logging in without having to look for the right monitor, but not quite so tidy if you were doing presentations. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
