[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#827789: Upgrade mostly fixed this bug

After my last upgrade, about a week or so ago, this bug has mostly 
disappeared.  My machine reliably wakes up from suspension with both 
monitors working, and not mirrored.  The only odd thing is that, 
although I start out with different desktop images (photographs) on the 
two monitors, once I wake the computer up from suspend, the second 
screen has the same desktop image as the first one.  This is not a 
problem, of course, but I thought I should report it.

I'm sorry that I don't have the exact date when I upgraded and found the 
problem fixed, but I had become accustomed to shutting the computer off 
rather than suspending it, and had disabled suspending after a period of 
inactivity.  I now have re-enabled both and it works great.

A further upgrade (to the current testing (stretch)) last night (8/9/16) 
seems to continue to work correctly, although the desktop image on 
screen #2 is still changing to the image from screen #1 after waking the 
machine up.  Neither of these upgrades replaced any xfce4 packages, or 
any xorg packages (I don't think it did, anyway).  The kernel was 
upgraded to, I believe, linux-image-4.6.0-1-amd64_4.6.4-1_amd64.deb (I'm 
not on that computer right now, but this one was upgraded at the same 
time, and has the same architecture --- but only one monitor).
