I have a triple monitor setup and it works very well with 13.10. However, I have some problems with the way Ubuntu moves windows around when turning off a monitor.
For instance, when I want to watch a movie I only want to use one monitor. However, when I turn off the other screens, the windows located on these will all move to the one monitor I use for a movie.
If I turn on the screens again the windows move back but not always to the same place and it's still kind of a hassle to suddenly have a huge bunch of windows pile up on the monitor you were just starting a movie on. It also means that my screens will blank out for 3 seconds, every time I turn one of the monitors on or off - probably to adjust X/compiz, I guess?
I know this is probably intended behavior, since it would make a lot of sense with a laptop setup. But with a triple monitor desktop setup, I really just want my windows to stay where they are, screens off or not. If I need whatever was on them, I'll just turn them on. Just some way to blank them would be nice, too.
Is there any way to turn off this feature? For the record, I'm running the NVIDIA proprietary driver.

). All windows end up on the primary monitor (external in my case) when reattaching the monitor or switching the notebook off and on again. The behavior is identical to the description of the linked question.
