How exactly do you enable/disable the external display? Because here,
nothing happens if I only plug it, so I have to run xrandr --auto.
Similar, when I unplug it, I need to do xrandr --auto to disable the
external output. At that point, the bottom panel is perfectly located on
the bottom of my laptop display.
