I removed my ~/.config/monitors.xml and rebooted with my external
monitor connected, and the laptop lid open (there's no output to the
exernal monitor during boot, so I have to have it open). At the gdm
login screen, the configuration is mirrored at 1024x768 on both my
laptop (native resolution 1280x800, with black bars on either side for
the unused space), and on the external monitor (1680x1050 native
resolution - stretched across the screen.

Happy to file separate bugs - will do for the issue of not keeping
configuration on closing the laptop lid.

Thanks, Tom
