So far, we can get most of the way there by:

- Using the Gnome monitor config tool, and making it put an icon in the 
panel.

- each time we plug/unplug the VGA cable:
     - open the applet  (or if already open, click "Detect monitors")
     - Click "Apply".; keep configuration
     - Close the applet window.

No need to logout/in or do Fn-F7. But it would be nice to make this 
really automatic.
