Dear Maintainer,

On my dual monitor system, the two screens come up in an awkward orientation
(left-right and primary-secondary).  This can be fixed by usin Gnome settings
for display, and the result is stored correctly in .config/monitors.xml
but is lost on reboot.

I suspect a race in the systemd startup or something because
the file ~/.config/monitors.xml is missing on reboot. If copy
and apply the file manually (using scripts that were floating around
for a similar bug in Ubuntu), then the orientation is corrected.

Note: I do not have any xorg.conf on system and xrandr reports
monitors correctly.
