Yes, however, the fact that the unplugging of the display isn't
detected when we are in this state, while it is immediately
detected otherwise, makes me wonder if something else could be
in a bad state when this happens.  Of course, this hasn't
happened during this whole day... I'll leave it over the weekend.
The funny thing is that it can happen while I am away from
the workstation. It works when I walk away, and it doesn't
respond when I get back.

USB (this particular device doesn't have bluetooth).

I will.... if I'm there when it does;)
