That’s something I’m looking for as well, but I figured with the addition of profiles that I could easily switch back and forth between monitor setups on my laptop.

Even the nVidia GUI screen doesn't really do the trick. What is impractical is to switch back and forth. Like with a laptop SOMETIMES you plug in the monitor and sometimes you're away from the desk where the monitor is. It would really be great if you could just hot plug the monitors at will and they either worked right away or a gui came up to ask you how you wanted to set the new monitor up. I would love to see Ubuntu get away entirely from editing xorg.conf manually however, hopefully next release it will happen.
