Been more accustomed to KDE myself.... when I first connected my TV as 
secondary on HDMI and set it to mirror, and then disconnected it again, 
both screens went black and I had to reboot the machine to get a visual 
back.

Mint worked better (Cinnamon) I suppose it uses the same Displays app?

But my experience hasn't been great, that was my first encounter in 
Linux connecting a second monitor ;-). Makes you, euhm, crave more, 
right ;-).
