--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Wakely <zilla at kayari.org> ---
With the current behaviour when I go to lunch I have to leave the screen on, so
that powerdevil will switch it to energy saving mode after 10 minutes. This
wastes power for 10 minutes.

Alternatively I have to change the button events handling depending on whether
the external monitor is connected or not. That completely defeats the purpose
of the "Even when an external monitor is connected" option, if I have to
manually adjust the settings each time I connect/disconnect from the monitor.
