First no extended screen, now my password doesn't match

[Joseph Ronne]

Have had the same problem in 12.10 and 13.04 but works fine in 12.04 and
12.04.2
Difference seems to be Kfce and does it see the correct driver and second
monitor..
In my case this driver is Nvidia 304.48
ArandR and 'display' in settings may show the second monitor in some cases
but the values are bad if the wrong driver is in place..
Sysinfo from the software center may tell you if your system is seeing the
right display information.
