I just thought to try to reproduce in Unity, and couldn't do so with it.
So, there seems to be some weird interaction between either awesome and
whatever is doing this detection, or maybe I'm supposed to have a daemon
running that I don't, or I dunno what else.

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.
