Dear Maintainer,

After jessie upgrade every time I start a new session(log out and
login) the monitor resolutions are all wrong.

Every day I have to set the correct resolutions (1440x900 and
1600x900) but after rebooting, on the next day, the resolutions are
all set to 1152x864.

So when the DM is started (or Xorg, for that matter), the resolution is
correct, but it changes when starting Xfce?

So you're using a dual monitor setup? How do you set the resolution?

Is it after rebooting or after logout/login?

After login/logout. This bug is actually the same as #631225. I forgot
to mention that. Is there a command for marking a bug as a duplicate
of another?

My workaround is to run this script at the beginning of each session:

#!/bin/sh

sleep 2
xrandr --output HDMI1 --mode 1600x900
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 --right-of HDMI1

Doing that now.

But you should be able to configure that properly in xfce4-settings and
have it restored by the system. Or put that in Xorg.conf.d.

xfce4-settings-manager is what doesn't work for me and I don't remember
having ever created a xorg.conf.d file that works as intended.
