initial layout (both displays on)

I have a notebook with an external display attached. If I disable my laptop screen, the wallpaper disappears and I see only blue background. If I re-enable my laptop display, the wallpaper is back.

The problem only occurs in the existing session. If I log out (while having just a single display) and log back in, the blue background is replaced by the wallpaper.

I have seen this problem on several laptops. I'm not sure whether the reproducer was the same in those cases, but the problem definitely exists and can be triggered easily.
