couple of queries for my understanding.

to be for plug in or plug out ?

isnt this better suited there ?

Also the following bug indicates failure in mst panel, but the changes 
here are in non-mst path
      https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89453, how is this 
patch helping this bug ?
