Title:
Disabling 'below' display does not reposition windows properly
Status in Unity:
Triaged
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
[Problem]
In a multihead config with one monitor above the other, if the lower monitor
is disabled the windows on that screen aren't moved to the still-active display.
[Test Case]
0. Attach laptop (LVDS1) to an external display (VGA1).
1. In the GNOME display properties applet, set the LVDS1 beneath VGA1.
2. Move to the lower left desktop (ctrl+alt+down)
3. Open one gnome terminal window on each monitor.
4. In the upper (VGA1) gnome terminal window type:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
(Alternatively, bring up the gnome display properties applet and shut the
laptop display off there)
5. With the LVDS turned off, count the number of gnome terminal windows
visible on VGA1
6. Using either xrandr or gnome, re-enable LVDS1 to the above/below
arrangement
7. With the LVDS re-enabled, count the number of gnome terminals visible on
VGA1 and LVDS1
Expected: 2, then 1/1
Actual:
Gnome Classic (No Effects): 2, then 1/1
Gnome Classic (With Effects): 2, then 1/1
Unity2D: 2, then 1/1
Unity: 1, then 1/1
Other findings...
A. On Unity, with LVDS1 off the missing gnome terminal window is
inaccessible. It can be recovered in various ways, but it's fairly confusing.
B. If step #2 is skipped and the test performed in the upper left
desktop, Unity will place the lower windows into the lower left
desktop.
C. On Unity, repeated testing of this seems to scramble the window
positions to some extent. The same effect does not appear to occur
with metacity; windows generally get placed back where they'd been
before.
