Bug Description
I'm trying to use my laptop with a second monitor on occasion. Plugging it in, and using xfce4-display-
1) The workspace does not resize automatically, and I am unable to use xfce-display-
2) my xfce panel suddenly goes wide, and now half of it is invisible. It has likely extended itself into the phantom workspace. Note that when the second monitor was connected, the panel was bound to only one screen, as desired. it is only the disconnection that expands the panel.
Using Lenovo X1 Carbon.

Workspace switcher doesn't recognize screen changes done by xrandr.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Start with a single-monitor configuration. For this example, I use the external screen VGA-0 attached to the laptop, while the laptop's LVDS is turned off.
2) `xrandr --output LVDS --auto --below VGA-0' makes the desktop extend to the laptop's LVDS, putting it below the external screen while the panels stay where they are.
Expected results:
Workspace switcher resembles the new screen size in its miniature view.
Actual results:
Workspace switcher still resembles the old screen size in its miniature view and seems not to know about the new screen configuration.
Workaround:
`xfce4-panel -r'
