I was annoyed by this for ages too and didn't find a nice way to solve it but in the latest release of Ubuntu it's fixed. In 11.04 it seems to remember the monitor placement for the different monitors you plug in. So when I'm connected to my home monitor it correctly positions it based on the last configuration I used, for that particular monitor. It also seems to scan for newly connected monitors. I rarely need to open Display Settings any more as it detects there's a new monitor and enables it based on my last configuration before I get a chance to. Sorry this doesn't answer your question directly but hopefully someone knows what was changed in 11.04 and can give you more information.
