Description Fushan Wen 2021-11-16 13:23:02 UTC 
SUMMARY
I have a laptop display and an external display. Usually I close the lid to disable the laptop display. However, recently I find that every time I log in, I have to restart plasmashell to make the panel show on my external display.

That's because the panel is moved to the laptop display which is disabled at login. If I open the lid, the panel will show on the laptop display. BUT it should be shown on the external display because the lid is closed at login.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log out
2. Log in

OBSERVED RESULT
Panels doesn't show up on the external display, but on the disabled laptop display.

EXPECTED RESULT
Panels show up on the external display.
