+displayset is a script that provides a useful transition between LCD panel and
+dual external monitors.  The script is currently configured for the Lenovo
+Thinkpad X201 and two 4:3 1600x1200 external LCD monitors.
+
+To tie into XFCE, create two new keyboard shortcuts:
+
+<super>l -> /usr/local/bin/displayset lcd
+<super>d -> /usr/local/bin/displayset dualext
+
+Read comments in the displayset script for more information

+# After issuing displayset.sh lcd:
+# - The LCD panel is turned on and both external monitors are turned off
+# - All windows are maximized and have no title bar, to maximize real estate
+# - All non-dialog new windows will become maximized
+#
+# After issuing displayset.sh dualext:
+# - The LCD panel is turned off and both external monitors are turned on
+# - All windows are unmaximized
+# - New windows will start normally, not maximized
+#
+# Window positions on the dual external monitors are not retained when switching
+# to lcd and back to dualext.  Specifically, the windows all end up on the
+# primary external display.
