Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.14.1-1
Severity: serious
Hello,
I have a dual monitor setup, to which I connect via Dell docking station
with Dell E7440. Both monitors are connected to docking station via DVI
ports.
You also might find following useful:
ahodzic@mx-e7440:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell-ULT Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 0b)
Regardless, when computer is connected to docking station, both displays
are outputted and everything's fine.

However, every time I disconnect computer from the docking station, my
gnome session will be restarted. Please be inform that during the
disconnect from docking station, it's also common for whole system to
freeze up and only option being to do a hard restart. i.e:

If computer was on without being connected to docking station, once
connected dual monitor setup won't be detected. It will only be detected if
I restart my GNOME session or log out/log in.

Please note, this setup only works with >= 3.17 kernel, otherwise only one
screen will be detected (both screens will be mirrored). Thus, you'll only
be able to use one screen, but there are no problems during
connect/disconnect from the docking station. Meaning this problem also
might be related to the kernel itself.
Please inform me if you have any additional questions and/or comments.
Regards,
Adnan
