GDM won't rotate screens

Hi!

I can't get GDM to rotate my screens correctly. I've tried both Rotate login screen and xrandr at login from the wiki, but neither work.

The configuration I'd prefer is

xrandr --output DP-1 --auto --primary --output DVI-D-0 --auto --left-of DP-1 --rotate left

which is what I have in ~/.xprofile that rotates i3 correctly for me.

Also, I've heard that GDM apparently should put the login screen on whatever monitor the mouse pointer is on, but this is not the case. Could that be related?
