Example of the bug

Whenever I plug/unplug an external display (DisplayPort, Thinkpad x250) I get a list weird issues with plasmashell and/or the panels:

* The panel on the main screen gets a transparent small bar (few pixels) on the bottom and to the half of the "hamburger menu" button (see screenshot)

* Maximizing an application causes it to not take the panel into account anymore

Killing plasmashell and restarting it fixes these issues. However, it is quite annoying when plug/unplug a screen quite often
