Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
If there is only one monitor in the system, the user can choose "Off" from gnome-display-
A solution to Bug #197673 might be considered as a workaround for this problem, as it will at least not overwrite monitors.xml with a monitorless configuration.
But the real solution is clearly to prevent choosing "Off" on all of the monitors.

Maybe something like this?
Don't allow switching off the only active monitor
Currently, users can choose "Off" from gnome-display- properties'
"Resolution" combo box and apply this change, even if they have only one
active monitor, leaving them without a working display.
With this patch the "Off" entry combo box is added to the "Resolution" combo
box only when the current output is not the only active output.
