Bug Description
Binary package hint: unity
(I'm not sure where in the stack this problem really is, so I'm guessing and picking on unity)
I have a Lenovo T410s laptop with Intel graphics and I use it with a dock with two 1920x1200 monitors connected. I'm running up-to-date Natty. If I boot the laptop with it already docked, everything works perfectly: the two external monitors are used and I get a nice unity desktop spanning my 3840x1200 space.
However, if I boot with the laptop undocked, log in, and then dock the laptop, it breaks pretty badly. Only one monitor is lit up, and I just get a black screen with a mouse pointer there -- no desktop background, windows, toolbars, or anything. Once it's in this state, it doesn't seem possible to recover -- if I undock the laptop again, the internal screen just stays black with a pointer.
When the laptop is in a working state, undocking it sort of works... the desktop switches to the laptop screen, but then redocking it acts just like docking as described above.
