Bug Description

To reproduce on a current Kubuntu 15.04 machine either with or without the KDE backport ppa packages

1) Attach an external monitor
2) Configure the screens so that only the external monitor is on
3) Detach the external monitor
4) See that the main monitor remains black

[this in case you are lucky and you do not get crashes in first place]

In Plasma 4, at point 4 the main monitor used to get automatically switched back on.

Which will hopefully be backported by the Kernel-Team...
