Description

Describe the bug
After I prepare a layout and the screen turns off due to inactivity, once I enter (entering the password from the display manager) the layout breaks for a few pixels.

The windows are still anchored to the layout that I have prepared, because if I try to put them back from scratch, the assistant sees that there is already a prepared layout and tries to rearrange the windows based on what is already positioned.

Steps To Reproduce
Set a layout => Blank the screen due to inactivity => login
