I guess skipping the idectl step that undock.sh does can cause this -
IDE isn't too happy when devices suddenly disappear.

You need to have an event rule defined (see config/etc/acpi/events/ in
the ibm-acpi tarball) which references the undock.sh script. Put those
under /etc/acpi/events, then restart acpid and it should get invoked.
