D21082: Fix lid open/closed configurations

[Robert Hoffmann]

  My goal is to make the screen configurations work reliably with notebooks, not to support a new use case. The use case is: work with a notebook docked and undocked, with and without external screen(s), lid open or closed.
  
  The configurations work fine, if no notebook with a lid that can be opened or closed is involved.
  
  But several users report, that they switch on their notebook (in docking station) in the morning, lid is closed, log in, and the external screens are swapped left and right again. Or only the empty background of the second screen is shown on the external monitor while the primary screen is on the closed integrated notebook screen.
  
  So they configure it again as needed, while the lid is closed. But there is already a lidOpened-configuration lurking around, waiting for the lid to be opened and to destroy the configuration previously made.
  
  Where does the wrong lidOpened-configuration come from? I guess it's created automatically when the lid is open and a button on the OSD ("Extend to right" or so) is clicked. After closing the lid, this configuration is copied to "lidOpened".
  
  The situation described in the test plan is just a quick way to show what can go wrong and if that is fixed.
