I have hacked some really nasty stuff together, hooking (un)dock events through an udev rule, which runs a shell script that exports my users xauthority and display settings and then tests whether or not the dock is present (thus determining if it was a dock og undock, as doing this in the udev rules with attributes didn't always work), and then use xrandr to set the monitors as i wan't. However most of this is IBM specific (i think).

Well, I *am* using a Thinkpad/dock, but I just wonder why it no longer "magically" works... But I'd hack stuff to make it!

And once more, such that everyone gets it (I'm used to the mail going to the list when just hitting reply).
