Sorry for my may be naive question: Why do we need to know if we are 
docked or not. Isn't there exactly the same situation if the external 
Monitor is directly connected to the laptop? If there is an external 
monitor and the lid is closed don't we want to switch off the display 
regardless whether there is a docking station involved or not?
