xrandr

I use external display with lenovo w520, I am running it with following script

xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output VIRTUAL --mode 1920x1200 --left-of LVDS1 optirun screenclone -d :8 -x 1 xrandr --output VIRTUAL --off

but I have number of problems.

All windows are moving on external display
If I interrupt this script I cannot run it second time without restarting xorg.
yakuake is changing height and does not showing tabs.
I cannot make external display primary, in that case I cannot see windows.
yakuake is changing height and does not showing tabs.

If you know how to solve thisw issues please let me know. Thanks in advance!
