Description William Jon McCann 2010-11-21 19:17:18 UTC 
It seems that the primary display setting is lost when adding/removing displays.

We should probably try to keep it on the monitor it was on last if it still exists and is turned on.  And if that monitor is turned off or disconnected it might make sense to prefer the either the top-left most display or the internal display.
