Bug Description

Two days ago I did the upgrade to Xubuntu 15.04 on my neighbors Dell D620. Since the upgrade I am not able to boot the laptop when on the docking station (with 90W power supply). All I get is a white screen with the mouse cursor in the centre which I am able to move. When I boot the system without the docking station everything works fine. I have now changed the default login manager to gdm and everything works fine also, on and off the docking station. This is reproducable always.

Some more observations:
Using lightdm again and booting on the dock I can get to the login by left or right mouse button or just by undocking. When I put the laptop back on the dock the system freezes (reproduceable).
