Yes, the external monitor is connected via DisplayPort to a Dell D6000 docking
station. The docking station connects using the DisplayLink USB 5.5.0-59.151
driver.

If I connect the external monitor directly via HDMI several things happen:
1. It is correctly identified by its name
2. [ScreenConnectors] in plasmashellrc now has a new entry "2=DP-3". The other
entries are "0=eDP-1", the primary display and "1=DVI-I-1" the external monitor
via docking station.
3. The resolution of the external monitor is limited to Full HD (1920 x 1080)
or lower, while the actual max capability of the monitor is 2560 x 1440. The
max resolution is not on offer in the KDE screen settings. This makes it the
same height as the primary, which is 3840 x 2160 @ 200%
4. The wallpaper and widgets on the primary are now still as set up after a
restart with the second monitor connected via HDMI
5. The external monitor was placed to the left of the primary when I hotplugged
it via HDMI. After restart (still connected via HDMI) it is to the right of the
primary.

So a workaround may be to start the laptop undocked, then connect the docking
station with the external monitor connected via DisplayPort (to get the full
resolution), then restart plasmashell to fix the primary screen contents being
moved to the top left quarter of the primary screen.
