[Bug 1556413] [NEW] External display detected but not enabled by default

[Gena]

Public bug reported:

Problem:
Since about month or two i'm facing the problem, that my external display won't 
be enabled by default, after i switch it off/on. It is contained in 
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml (see further)

Expected behaviour:
Once configured, display detrmined automatically and just enabled by default 
after it connected/switched on (just like it always did early)

System information:

    </property>
  </property>
  <property name="Notify" type="bool" value="false"/>
</channel>

The output of   XFSETTINGSD_DEBUG=1 xfsettingsd --replace --no-daemon
shows:

New output connected: HDMI1


Thanks a lot!
