copy-worker: copy over monitors.xml (1.09 KB, patch)

Description D.S. (Spider) Ljungmark 2016-11-07 15:46:26 UTC 
When using a computer on a non-standard setup (Rotated monitors, screens that need upside-down handling) gnome-initial-setup should copy the settings from GDM, with the assumption that GDM will be properly configured.

Settings that minimum should be copied:

- Primary display, so default desktop doesn't end up being projected onto the ceiling.
- Rotation, so the user can use the mouse without mental readjustment

copy-worker: copy over monitors.xml

In Endless we added a page to the FBE to configure overscan
compensation, but even without it, if the initial setup session changed
monitor configuration, it seems useful to also carry such change to the
user session.
