I think between 4.10 & 4.12 a lot of new code went into the display "helper"
of xfsettingsd, including a callback handling the RRScreenChangeNotify
event which can calculate & set a new screen size when a monitor is
switched off/unplugged.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't this explain part of the observed
change of behaviour?
