I have to say that there's a certain level of irony in avoiding using a
graphical tool for configuring your graphical user interface...
I'm not sure if this file works with every type of desktop:
~/.config/monitors.xml
For system things, like GDM (the logon screen for Gnome), it goes into
*that* thing's homespace, rather than /home/username:
i.e. /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml
KDM may do something similiar (it'll have a different path).
The file begins like this, and may have multiple sections, if you've
switched monitors around:
<monitors version="1">
<configuration>
<clone>no</clone>
...[snip]...
If each monitor clones each other, it has "yes" in there. Otherwise,
"no" cloning spreads the picture across the monitors.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
