Created attachment 511034 [details] dmesg output Description of problem: After i attach external monitor on the VGA port of my laptop i get message asking me if i want to configure it. I choose for activating external monitor and deactivating native laptop screen. When i remove VGA cable screen doesn't just switch to native (like it does in Gnome) but instead stays deactivated. Only way to get it back is to reboot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect monitor to laptop on VGA port 2. Choose for activating external monitor and deactivating native one 3. Unplug VGA cable Actual results: Native laptop screen is not activated Expected results: Active laptop screen Additional info: I had to choose component for this bug.

re-opening per comment 7
In desperation i have updated KDE to 4.7 (from your repo Rex) not just because of this bug but also Kmail network problems (my bug report 730899). At this moment kdebase-workspace 4.7.0-6.fc15.x86_64 is active. My problem is still here. If you think that this problem is solved for specifically version 4.6.5-5.fc15 i will downgrade and try it out (although i will shed some tears for parting with Kmail2 :) . If you think that it shouldn't even be in versions above...well i am still suffering from it.
My "workaround" at this moment is to launch "Display Settings" and manually disable external screen and enable laptop screen and then press "apply". Then i can safely remove VGA cable. Same goes when connecting external monitor. While in Gnome3 it does everything without my intervention. Not entirely true, for very first time when i connected monitor i had to choose in the setting that i wanted laptop screen disabled when external monitor was connected. From there on doesn't matter which monitor i connect (different resolution, model) it always works.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
