You're right Peter: logging out to lightdm also works for me. However quitting the GUI session is the real pain for me: it's very often that I have two dozen windows spread over a few virtual screens, everything arranged in just the right order. I just hate loosing this. Rebooting only adds a few seconds after the SSD upgrade but I would gladly wait a couple of minutes if I could save my GUI session.

However, if I unplug it and then replug it later, it is not detected anymore and the screen receives no signal. A way to get it back to work is to reboot or simply suspend the computer. Sorry but I have no idea of what package is handling that.
