I refiled the bug at bugzilla.gnome.org as bug 790040.

The link is:  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790040

I'm really surprised that there are not more complaints about this.  To
be fair, the dock+external monitor setup has NOT worked perfectly in any
release Ubuntu release, including 16.04.  Although, before 17.10,
trouble only arose when moving the laptop between docks with different
monitors, so it was tolerable.

I sure hope this can be fixed.  I suppose I could cook up some sort of
udev script to handle dock changes for my situation but that is horrible
kludge, not a fix.
