xfce4-display-settings does not propose left-of/above/below options!

Hi,

I have a setting where my external (DisplayPort) monitor is physically on the left of my laptop.

Each time I unplug this external monitor to use my laptop in stand-alone mode (e.g. go on travel/make a presentation), then I plug the external monitor in the laptop again, I see the "xfce4-display-settings -m" dialog box.

This dialog box only proposes the following options: laptop-only, mirror, extends to the right, external only.

Unfortunately, I'm in none of these situations, so the simplest way I have to get my configuration back is to reconfigure the whole settings: select "advanced", select the external monitor, check "Use this display" and drag the external monitor icon to the left of the laptop monitor's icon. This is very time consuming and far from convenient.

The thing that bothers me the most is that, the left-of situation is part of the standard configurations supported by XrandR ("above" and "below" are supported too), so I don't understand why they are not proposed by xfce4-display-settings...

What would be cool would be even better would be to be able to select/automagically restore a saved configuration!

Thanks
