Dynamic multi monitor support

Hi,
I'm trying to switch to XFCE - much more suitable for my tastes than the
ever bloating gnome and KDE desktops smile
One gotcha though: This is on a laptop and I often jack a second monitor
in at home via the displayport socket.
On Gnome, I can just run gnome-display-properties and switch the second
monitor on and my desktop adapts to the new geometry nicely. Ditto, I
can switch off the 2nd monitor without logging out.
XFCE works nicely if I restart X - but I cannot find a nice way to
switch the 2nd monitor on and off whilst keeping a log in session active
(I generally stay logged into to my laptop a week at a time).
I tried gnome-display-properties manually but it seems to have no effect
on XFCE/Xorg - which suggests there may be a helper missing???
Any tips on whether I can do this - then my switch will be complete :-)
TIA
Tim
