Public bug reported:
I have a DVI monitor above LVDS (laptop built-in). My panel is right-
edge, autohide. Things I've seen when removing the laptop (i.e.
disconnecting the external monitor):
1) The panel won't appear. Killing/restarting plasma-desktop does not
solve this--the panel is just gone. Presumably it wasn't told that the
other screen doesn't exist anymore?
2) Reinstalling external monitor and reconfiguring sometimes results in
the reappearance of the panel. Sometimes not. Kill/restart plasma-
desktop fixes this, but may reset the panel to not auto-hide.
3) After this disconnect-reconnect-restart-plasma deal, the panel menu
and hovertext boxes come up on the left side of the screen, despite the
fact that the panel is still on the right.
4) The panel "settings" menu does not come up when requested.
5) (Sometimes) All windows disappear. Their processes are still
running, but they do not appear on the display in any virtual desktop.
When I reinstall the external monitor and reset the display to my
preferred configuration, they come back.
This is with KDEWM=sawfish
This is all new since Ubuntu 11.10--worked mostly fine under 11.04.
