I also found that when I went back to awesome after making display
changes in Unity, that autodetect now defaults to what I want it too.
So, that's a workaround for certain use cases (but really sucks if you
change your configuration often).

Title:
  automatic detection of plugged in / removed monitor is too aggressive

Status in “gnome-desktop3” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I've found that the monitor detection in Ubuntu 11.10 is too aggressive. Sometimes it will get things wrong, and when I try to fix it with the GNOME Control Center, it automatically reverts back to what it thinks is correct. My configuration is as follows:
  * Nouveau Driver
  * GDM
  * Awesome WM

  The problem occurs with both the VGA and DVI ports. I can use xrandr
  to make changes without them getting reverted.
