XFCE "loses" my keyboard shortcuts when using dual-screen

Hello,

I am usgin XFCE4 and Slim on my laptop and usually only use the laptop screen.
When I bring it to work I use an extra display and extend the desktop to it.

If I connect the screen before booting, Slim starts on the two screens and I lose my keyboard shortcuts (although I still see them in the configuration panels) but not the custom keys I have set to switch desktops for example.

If I start on one screen, login to XFCE and then plug the second screen and set it up via nvidia-settings, I can use my keyboard shortcuts.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Re: XFCE "loses" my keyboard shortcuts when using dual-screen

I noticed this morning that as long as X does not start with two screens connected, XFCE does not lose my shortcuts.
So I can connect the second screen as soon as Slim is started.

Are there like two different profiles involved here in XFCE?
