It sounds like when you go dpms off, the monitor unregisters and when
you go dpms on, the monitor re-registers.
Then some semi-smart randr daemon kicks in and adjusts the layout, but
does not so when the monitor comes back.
Try to log the setup in the various modes:
xset dpms force standby; sleep 10; xrandr --current > ~/randr.standby;
xset dpms force suspend; sleep 10; xrandr --current > ~/randr.suspend;
xset dpms force off; sleep 10; xrandr --current > ~/randr.off; xset
dpms force on
Also try the behavior on a "naked" X11 server (no desktop session, only
an xterm) to see whether some client or the server adjusts the randr setup.
Cheers,
Thomas
