I'm a bit fuzzy on this as the issue I had over 6 years ago with KDE sounds familiar.

I only had 2 identical monitors but I recall things were "jumbled" coming back from screensaver.

I had a single GPU card with 3 outputs.  DVI, HDMI, and Display Port.  I resolved my issue by making
sure the monitor I wanted to be the "primary" was connected to the HDMI port.

I probably could have fixed it with a custom Xorg.conf but it was a new install and I wanted as much
"vanilla" as possible so I didn't have to remember changes.  :-)
