Public bug reported: I have a Dell 1280x1024 19" screen and Sony 1366x768 32" screen. Due to the ports they are connected to on the video card they appear by default in xfce-display-settings in the reverse to their physical layout.
On previous versions of Xubuntu there has not been any problem with rearranging the display order. On artful I can only get things to work properly if I leave the display order to the default. If I try to rearrange the display order on artful all sorts of weird things happen. The 19" screen only uses two thirds of its vertical height to display the picture, the rest is drawn as white. The taskbar disappears completely. The mouse has to be on the opposite screen to the one where you are working in order to be able to click on anything.
