Public bug reported:
I often switch between working with a docking station, closed laptop and
an external monitor, and an open laptop without docking station or
monitor. I noticed since updating to 17.10 that GNOME Shell would not
switch correctly from the setup where the laptop was being used open
without a docking station to the other. When I opened the laptop in the
docking station the external monitor would come on, and when I closed
the laptop it went off again. I manually switched the primary screen to
be the external one and that solved it for now, so I assume that GNOME
Shell was disabling the external screen instead of the internal one (it
is a bit hard to see, and I have not yet tried ssh-ing in).
