This is a laptop with two monitors plugged in, this isn't rare. nearly
every desk in my office is this use case. Some of them are even crazy
enough to want to rotate one of the monitors. For this case I also
think they have the laptop lid closed, so the 3rd monitor isn't even
on, or at least with X we'd always drop back to two monitors working
and the third off.

This bug was just an example I knew about, I'm sure we've many others that just
get a bit ignored, due to not being something trivially reproducible on
an a single user laptop.

I started debugging this, and realised after spending time in mutter,
that it clearly wasn't something I was going to be able to fix without
expending a lot more time, and clearly the people who wrote the code were
in a better position to debug.
