That shouldn't happen.

With HDMI attached I get a gdm on each monitor and the display set to
1920x1080 (HDMI 1080p). That's what I'd expect unless I altered the
system configuration.

When I log in I can then juggle the display around to have a single big
display. Most of the desktops handle this fine although Gnome 3 has some
annoying breakage on rotated desktops.

So it ought to all work.

One thing to try if the greeter seems to be the problem is to login in
comamnd line mode and type "startx"

that'll take you directly into the desktop
