The second time an external monitor is plugged in during the same
session, it is not automatically found.
Steps to reproduce:
* Connect a screen to the laptop with a HDMI cable. Make sure it shows up as
an extensions of the current screen (not mirroring it)
* Disconnect the screen
* Connect it again (without rebooting the computer)
* This time, the screen will not be found
Workaround:
1. Open settings/displays, and the screen will be identified. You don't have
to press ”apply” or anything, just opening the settings is enough.
2. Reboot the computer before attaching the external monitor the second time
Occurs in:
Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 13.04
