Dunno about the other problems but those two behaviors are normal.
~/Desktop is a standardized location so both desktop environments will
see a .desktop file dropped there.  The monitor config is different
though.  mate-display-properties and Gnome's tool will store information
in their own place and in their own way.  You will have to configure it
in both.  And good luck getting one of them to actually save the default
the login box will use because then you get into a combinational
explosion where each possible display manager might use parts of any
desktop environment to get that information from, but being Fedora will
probably want to be configured by Gnome 3 unless you have swapped out
the default login.
