Change Gnome panel profile according to number of displays
- by ifischer
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Laptop.
I have a startup script which enables external displays, if they are connected. It runs at GDM startup, configured in /etc/gdm/Init/Default.
When i'm running without external displays, Gnome should use 2 Panels.
When i'm using 2 external displays, Gnome should add an additional Panel to the second display. But this should of course be removed again if i detach the external displays (and restart).
Can i configure this use case by using Gnome Panel-profiles?
I read that there is a startup option "--profile" for gnome-panel, but i don't know how and where i could switch the profile, especially because this has to be done after recognizing the number of displays.
Or can i add a general Gnome profile and switch between those profiles somehow to achieve this behavior?
