Title:
  should detect that monitor was disconnected when waking from suspend

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I have an external monitor connected to notebook and the builtin LCD
  panel disabled (via xrandr). If I suspend the system and disconnect
  the monitor while suspended (/hibernated), the X server doesn't know
  about that change when waking up and hence gnome-screensaver login
  dialog is shown on the disconnected monitor. This results in inability
  to operate the computer, since the LCD panel was disabled before.

  Gnome-screensaver should probably, before showing the password dialog,
  test that the current xrandr configuration matches physically
  connected devices and run something like "xrandr --auto" to restore at
  least basic display settings.

  Perhaps a more robust solution would be to run an xrandr daemon that
  would check (say, every second) that active outputs are connected and
  that there is at least one active output, but that is beyond this
  particular bug.

  I am running fully up-to-date hardy with Intel GM965/GL960 GPU.
