(Sorry, don't know if this is the right subproject; could not find anything obvious.) When I have my laptop attached to the docking station at work, I use the laptop display as secondary screen and an additional monitor as the primary screen. Through "settings / display", I have been able to extend the display from the primary screen to the secondary/laptop screen, so that they appear as one desktop. Now, whenever I send the laptop to standby and take it home or to a client and wake it up, the system still believes that the primary monitor is attached. The laptop screen still shows only the right part of the desktop. I see no icons, no windows from the primary screen, and not even a launcher bar. I have to open "settings / display" manually from deep inside the context menu that opens after right-clicking on the desktop background. As soon as the dialog pops up, the system notices that the primary display is gone, reinitializes the desktop, and I can just close the settings dialog without making any changes there. Although this "workaround" solves the issue, it would be helpful if the system (like many others already do) could run a screen detection or desktop re-initialization as soon as it recovers from standby, without the user having to initiate that manually.
I can confirm this also happens to me. $ xfsettingsd -V xfsettingsd 4.13.7 (Xfce 4.13) System: Host: beast Kernel: 5.1.15-1-MANJARO x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.1.0 Desktop: Xfce 4.13.5 Distro: Manjaro Linux Machine: Type: Laptop System: Dell product: XPS 13 9350 Graphics: Device-1: Intel Iris Graphics 540 vendor: Dell driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0 Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.5 driver: intel resolution: 2048x1152~60Hz, 1920x1080~60Hz OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel Iris Graphics 540 (Skylake GT3e) v: 4.5 Mesa 19.1.1 direct render: Yes $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 2491 x 2232, maximum 32767 x 32767 eDP1 connected primary 2048x1152+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 290mm x 170mm 3200x1800 59.98 + 59.94 47.99 2880x1620 59.97 2560x1600 59.99 59.97 2560x1440 59.96 60.00 59.95 2048x1536 60.00 1920x1440 60.00 1856x1392 60.01 1792x1344 60.01 2048x1152 60.00* 59.90 59.91 1920x1200 59.88 59.95 1920x1080 59.96 60.00 59.93 1600x1200 60.00 1680x1050 59.95 59.88 1400x1050 59.98 1600x900 60.00 59.95 59.82 1280x1024 60.02 1400x900 59.96 59.88 1280x960 60.00 1368x768 60.00 59.88 59.85 1280x800 59.81 59.91 1280x720 59.86 60.00 59.74 1024x768 60.00 1024x576 60.00 59.90 59.82 960x540 60.00 59.63 59.82 800x600 60.32 56.25 864x486 60.00 59.92 59.57 640x480 59.94 720x405 59.51 60.00 58.99 640x360 59.84 59.32 60.00 DP1 connected 1920x1080+571+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 480mm x 270mm 1920x1080 60.00*+ 1280x1024 75.02 60.02 1440x900 59.90 1280x800 59.91 1152x864 75.00 1024x768 70.07 60.00 800x600 60.32 56.25 640x480 66.67 59.94 720x400 70.08 DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
