I believe xrandr knows what's happening. When external monitor is connected, it shows 2 monitors. When disconnected it only shows the primary monitor connected. So that's all correct. xdpyinfo shows only one monitor whether the external is connected or not. So, I don't think I'm using that method. If e is using xrandr than it should have the correct info on the monitor config. I assume it is getting correct info because the Screen Setup panel shows the correct layout of monitors whether the external is connected or disconnected.
