Nvidia Twinview sets main display to wrong screen after resume from hibernation or suspension, I cannot remember for a boot-up.
I keep setting the primary screen to my laptop, and after every resume I have to reset the primary screen and move over all my open windows, via the nvidia-settings panel.

============================
At one point the following Option was set:-
Option "metamodes" "DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, CRT: nvidia-auto-select +1920+0"
The external Monitor is attached via the VGA Port. I did configure via displayPort, but this was worse. This issue has occurred since later versions of th X-11 and Nvidia drivers for F18.
I keep setting the primary screen to my laptop, and after every resume I have to reset the primary screen and move over all my open windows, via the nvidia-settings panel.
