I have upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 today and everything works smooth apart from one thing. I have a dual monitor setup and every time reboot the screens have switched places (left screen on right monitor and vice versa).
I have correctly created an xorg.conf which is shown below.
I have tried all the solutions which are suggested in theses two posts:
nvidia-settings lost after reboot
Nvidia drivers seem to ignore customized xorg.conf in 13.10? How to configure?
including checking for ~/.config/monitor.xml which I don't have. Loading the nvidia-setting at runtime using nvidia-settings -l which doesn't do anything. But that kinda makes sense to me since the .nvidia-setting-rc doesn't really have any info about screen positions. And since I'm running LXDE as my desktop environment "Preferences->Monitor Settings" is only concerned with screen resolution, not screen position.
Now here is the odd thing: When lightdm loads up the screens are initially in the correct order (as specified in the xorg.conf) and then switch order after a couple of secounds.
In my Xorg.0.log I found the following line
[ 11.806] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DVI-I-0: nvidia-auto-select @1680x1050 +0+0, DVI-D-0: nvidia-auto-select @1680x1050 +1680+0"
which I believe could very well be the culprit. It seems as if the nvidia driver overrides the settings in xorg.conf after the fact even though I'm not starting nvidia-settings at startup as far as I know.
EDIT:
I just upgraded from nvidia-304 to nvidia-319 and now my suspicions a confirmed because the x-server boot log is now a little bit clearer. The relevant lines are:
[ 6.460] (**) NVIDIA(0): Option "MetaModes" "CRT: nvidia-auto-select +1680+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
Options are correctly read from xorg.conf
[ 6.908] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "CRT:nvidia-auto-select+1680+0,DFP:nvidia-auto-select+0+0"
and correctly set
[ 11.197] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DVI-I-0: nvidia-auto-select @1680x1050 +0+0 {ViewPortIn=1680x1050, ViewPortOut=1680x1050+0+0}, DVI-D-0: nvidia-auto-select @1680x1050 +0+0 {ViewPortIn=1680x1050, ViewPortOut=1680x1050+0+0}"
[ 11.222] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DVI-I-0: nvidia-auto-select @1680x1050 +0+0 {ViewPortIn=1680x1050, ViewPortOut=1680x1050+0+0}, DVI-D-0: nvidia-auto-select @1680x1050 +1680+0 {ViewPortIn=1680x1050, ViewPortOut=1680x1050+0+0}"
and then later overridden by the nvidia driver for apparently no reason.
Any ideas anybody?
Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT 2:
What I found out is that the log message which signals the override of the xorg.conf settings is one that is caused by a call to xrandr (as I'm doing this myself from the commandline to set the screens in the correct order).
Below you'll find my x-server log file. Please be aware that the very last two entries at approx. 31.5 secs are caused by me calling xrandr from the commandline with the correct settings.

I recently installed 14.04, and found the exact same problem. I tried setting left and right screens in
nvidia-settingsmanager but when I rebooted or restarted X they would switch back.Searched a lot online, but couldn't find a solution, then I just went to the Displays options in Ubuntu System Settings or
unity-control-center, set everything there, and voila, problem solved.So the easiest thing to do is ignore
nvidia-settingsand use the displays option in the Ubuntu settings. At least in Ubuntu 14.04.
