Public bug reported: To shut off my laptop screen and adjust resolution on my external screen I execute xrandr --output VGA1 --off xrandr --output LVDS1 --off xrandr --output VGA1 --auto and recently (2-3 weeks) this has made all desktop icons to dissapear from screen. At one time I thought I had a workaround by ln -s ~/Skrivbord ~/Desktop which is my localized name of Desktop, but it only worked the first time. I find no logs with hints, currently I only know of one way of getting the icons back which is reboot. Adjusting resolution or turning on laptopmonitor has no effect.
