I have a laptop with multi-monitor setup, one is HDMI and the other is VGA. I have the energy saving setting set to dim screen after 5 min and switch screen off after 10 min, with suspends set to never. I lock my PC and after 10 had passed, when I re-login all open windows will moved to the laptop screen! I would like to keep all windows in place without having to reorder them each time. Is there a solution to this?

Use this simple shellscript before and after suspend:

#!/bin/bash
# Get the coordinates of the active window's
# top-left corner, and the window's size.
# This can be saved & loaded

getpos()
 wmctrl -l -G > /dev/shm/winposs

setpos()
 while read -r id g x y w h host app;do
 IFS=" ," read ta tb a b c d <<<$(xprop -id "$id" _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS 2>/dev/null)
 [ -z $d ] && continue
 wmctrl -i -r $id -e "$g,$((x-$d)),$((y-$c)),$((w+$d+$b)),$((h+$c+$a))" 2>/dev/null
 done < /dev/shm/winposs
