Bug#1018003: comment
In the totally outdated issue tracker I can't edit the text: it doesn't crash anymore because as a workaround I have the monitor HDMI cable disconnected except when I use it.
When connecting the HDMI cable, the session ends only when the monitor that the HDMI cable is plugged into is turned off. The wallpaper is changed to a default one nevertheless. Currently, the remaining problem is that when doing one of these things to switch the monitor back again the sessions as well: a) pulling out the HDMI cable b) switching off the active second monitor c) press meta+p and selecting "Unify outputs" (haven't tried the other ones yet).
For the workout to be complete, I only need to find out how to switch back to the formerly active display without the session ending. I'll try a few more things later such as going into standby, then pulling out the HDMI cable, and waking it again. If somebody knows a working workaround, please comment.
