Comment 5 for bug 339228

I've attached two files, coldplug.txt where gnome-settings-daemon --debug --no-daemon is run while the monitor is plugged in, and hotplug.txt, where I unplugged the monitor, ran g-s-d, plugged in the monitor and used xrandr --output TMSD-1 --mode 1920x1080 to activate the monitor.

xrandr --auto causes the screen to go black momentarily, similar to the initial moments with g-s-d when brief flashes of the screen can be seen in-between blue or black screens.
