The two monitors are set to be different X servers. When I use "xrandr -o left" to
rotate the screen, I must open the terminal in the right monitor, or the content of both monitors
will be messed up. That is another problem I have proposed in the same forum titled as
"'xrandr -o left' sometimes mess up the screens", yet not be responded till now. Anyway,
thanks for your ideas.<br/>

Maybe this is a dumb idea, but did you try putting that command into a<br/>
shell script, making the script executable, and giving gnome startup<br/>
the path to your script? My thought is that sometimes those launcher<br/>
programs don't honor flags that you pass to the program you're trying<br/>
to run.<br/>
