[Bug 1425961] [NEW] kscreen no longer detecting disconnection of primary external monitor

[3vi1]

Public bug reported:

Since KDE/plasma updates a few weeks back, KDE seems to no longer
correctly detect when my external monitor (which I set to primary, when
it's connected) is disconnected.  Even rebooting does not correct the
problem.

The only workaround is to delete the contents of /.local/share/kscreen/
and restart the desktop.

This was working fine in earlier versions of the plasma 5 desktop and
kde 5 frameworks with the same hardware.
