Bug Description

In Ubuntu 13.04, connecting an external monitor to my Thinkpad T420 (Intel HD 3000 graphics) causes the monitor to be automatically enabled, and the desktop extended to it. On the other hand, 13.10 and the 14.04 development release don't do this anymore. Instead, I need to open the System Settings, after which the external monitor is suddenly recognized (without changing a setting, or even going into the Displays panel). It would be great if this were automatic again.
