What it does now is that it

        - probes for monitors
        - checks if it has seen that configuration before
                - if it has, use whatever was configured last
                - if not, it picks some reasonable default.

What it *should* do when it hasn't seen the configuration before, is
cycle between "laptop only", "external only", "both".

I would like if most people never have to see the configuration
capplet at all. This is reasonable because

        - Essentially all screens these days have only one useful
          resolution

        - Rotation is fairly rare

This means the only interesting configuration is which screens to use.
