no it doesn't. See my very first answer to this thread. Your workflow is a
workaround to limitations in multi screen handling. KWin should not put
windows on a screen which is not useable (doesn't matter whether turned off or
disconnected). It shouldn't put it there. Full stop! If it does put it there
we need to fix it. This means your workaround as a workflow is irrelevant as
we need to fix the bug, not ensure workarounds work.
