Description
* Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon version 4.4.8
* 64 bit
* Kernel 4.15.0-91-generic
* NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 (nvidia-driver-440)
Issue
See picture. User login window is not centered on main screen after dual monitors went in energy saving mode / screen saver got activated. The issue doesn't happen if I lock manual with CTRL + ALT + L.
Steps to reproduce
I am not sure if it's the the screen saver (15 minutes idle) or power management of monitors (10 minutes idle) which causes the issue, but if I come back after some time, the login UI is between both monitors.
Expected behaviour
Login UI centered on main monitor, not between dual monitors.
Other information
I saw this issue a long time ago already, with different kernels and nvidia drivers.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the login-window placement after dual monitors enter energy-saving mode or the screen saver activates, and compare it with a manual CTRL+ALT+L lock. Trace the login UI's monitor selection and centering behavior; done means the window is centered on the main monitor in both cases.
