Public bug reported:
Xfce does not remember display settings for a specific display like for example
Gnome does.
So if you don't want to click around in the menu every time when a new display
is connected you have to set "Configure new displays when connected" in
xfce4-display-settings.
This is fine as this brings up a nice menu from which you can quickly select
the desired setting.
The problem with the "Configure new displays when connected" setting is
that it unfortunately also triggers xfce4-display-settings on other
events like plugging your laptop on the charger or waking it up from
hibernation.
To reproduce:
1.) Configure the mentioned setting in xfce4-display-settings.
2.) Suspend your laptop.
3.) Wake up your laptop and log in.
4.) You will see that the xfce4-display-settings window is displayed.
An additional problem is that the triggering mechanism does not recognize that
an instance (window) of xfce4-display-settings is already running.
So if you wake up your laptop, plug it on the charger and connect an external
display and after that log in, you will have 3 xfce4-display-settings (windows)
in front of you which is not that awesome.
