Broken Plasma dual-head desktop after monitor hot-plug

Unplugging and replugging the (Thunderbolt dock with an) external monitor
causes this. As you can see, the laptop screen is placed correctly (on the
right) and the mouse cursor (as well as windows) can be dragged there just
fine, but Plasma doesn't draw anything on the right (laptop, primary) screen
and leaves it black. No panels, no wallpaper. The left screen (external
monitor) now has *two* Plasma panels overlapping each other, which is really
quite annoying with auto-hide panels.

Killing Plasma and starting plasmashell again restores law and order (see
before_unplug.png for what that looks like).

Sometimes Plasma crashes on its own and gets restarted automatically during
monitor hotplugging. In that case the screen layout turns out to be fine,
presumably, but one gets an ugly error message in desktop notifications. The
ration between the broken layout in this screenshot and a Plasma crash is
(rough guess) 20:1, so the crash is very rare (and I don't have any dumps from
that or whatnot).
