The two monitors are set to be different X servers. When I use "xrandr -o left" to
rotate the screen, I must open the terminal in the right monitor, or the content of both monitors
will be messed up. That is another problem I have proposed in the same forum titled as
"'xrandr -o left' sometimes mess up the screens", yet not be responded till now. Anyway,
thanks for your ideas.

Maybe this is a dumb idea, but did you try putting that command into a
shell script, making the script executable, and giving gnome startup
the path to your script? My thought is that sometimes those launcher
programs don't honor flags that you pass to the program you're trying
to run.
