Keith, 

one feature I am always missing is autodetection of monitors like osx has.
I mean, I regularly switch between two monitors and I always have to type
xrandr -s 0  / xrandr -s 1 to get the right resolution. Wouldn't it be
cool to be able detect 'hey it is that monitor again' and thus switch to
the latest known working resolution avoiding to do this manually all the
time ?
