Description Fabiano Fidêncio 2015-10-17 14:29:13 UTC 
Description of problem:
With multimonitor guest running (happens with both Windows and Linux guest), when a display is disconnected through Display's app (or equivalent) and resolution of any other active display is changed (e.g. by resizing a window or by switching to fullscreen), the previously disabled display is switched on again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Client: virt-viewer-2.0 (also happens with git master)
spice-gtk-0.29 (also happens with git master)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a multimonitor guest and run it
2. Connect to the VM using remote-viewer
3. In the Display settings of guest system activate all displays
4. Disable the previously activated displays so that their window stays black and a message "Waiting for display X..." is shown. Do not close this window.
5. Change the resolution of any active screen (either by resizing the window or by switching to fullscreen)
  
Actual results:
All previously disabled displays are switched on again.

Expected results:
The disabled displays stay disabled even after change of resolution of any other active display.
