I tested and spotted two bugs :-). Only restarted my session, not the
full machine.

  - In the greeter, my resolution wasn't preserved. I've dual screens
    with different resolutions on each monitor. They're defined in
    /etc/gnome-settings-daemon/xrandr/monitors.xml (I think we used to
    have the monitors capplet write this file; not sure how you do it
    nowadays). I forgot to get a picture, but they both reverted to a
    low resolution.
  - Pointer barriers were totally broken. I couldn't move my mouse from
    one monitor to the other.

Cheers,
