That might be important to those who consider dual-head _on-demand_,
too. The scripts also checks, if a monitor is connected. If I'm using
the LCD and select to use the CRT, while the CRT is disconnected, the
LCD is still used. IIRC if the CRT is connected, but turned off,
there's no way to check this via command line.

However, I'm favour of individual user scripts over any multi-monitor
desktop environment tool.
