Yes, what's going on is when you attach the external monitor the Linux
kernel fires an event to reconfigure the monitors automatically.  gnome-
display-properties hears that event and then changes the monitors to
match what's in your monitors.xml config file.

Looking at your xrandr output, it shows your laptop LVDS1 screen
configured to 800x600, and that's what is indicated as the desired
resolution in your monitors.xml for LVDS1.

So, you just need to go to the GUI configuration tool and reconfigure
your monitors the way you want them.  If you need technical support
about how to configure your computer, you might try asking on
http://askubuntu.com.

I think this can be closed as a non-bug, but I'll refile this to gnome-
control-center in case there is a usability issue or in case the control
tool isn't behaving correctly.

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) => gnome-control-
center (Ubuntu)
