Knowing that the dock/undock was not working I tossed together a simple
script that executes the xrandr commands I needed and I used the PowerDevil
AC adapter notifications to run the script. My only point is that I may
have confused the matter by hacking my own solution in place. If you need
me to do a dock/undock to collect info without my script in the way just let
me know.

Thanks
