When external monitor is connected, it shows 2 monitors. When disconnected it only shows the primary monitor connected. So that's all correct. xdpyinfo shows only one monitor whether the external is connected or not. So, I don't think I'm using that method. If e is using xrandr than it should have the correct info on the monitor config. I assume it is getting correct info because the Screen Setup panel shows the correct layout of monitors whether the external is connected or disconnected. However, the configuration of the desktops when switching from 2 monitors to 1 does not update. It updated correctly when going from 1 to 2, but now it's stuck in that state.
