Your definition of the expected workflow is excessively limited,
restrictive and prescriptive. In does not envisage many common scenarios
which occur in routine practice.

Specifically, there are many circumstances where display settings may
need repeated adjustment during a session, in particular during live
multiscreen presentations and discussions.

Think eg of repeated switching on/off (ie blanking) displays in the
course of a session and eg of changing display resolutions during a
session depending on the various applications viewed, on the varying
capacity of individual servers used to deliver various streams, on the
changeable viewing requirements such as close/distant, and so on.

Under such circumstances it is much more efficient and much less
disruptive to the audience to leave the Display Settings panel open
(minimized as a launcher button in a Xubutu panel) and immediately
available to the presenter.

Repeatedly having to go through Applications Menu > Settings Manager >
Display, or repeatedly having to start a terminal session and to type
xfce4-display-settings + Enter, is instead unnecessarily cumbersome and,
both for the presenter and for the audience, unnecessarily distracting.
