Description
wf-dock (0.6 via AUR) regularly crashes when the output is removed. Sometimes this brings down the whole shell, punting me back to GDM. This use case occurs when the monitor (a "smart TV") is set to use a different input than the computer, leaving the shell with no outputs. I believe this no-output condition is sufficient to replicate the problem. Thanks

Research direction
Start by reproducing the no-output condition described for wf-dock 0.6 from AUR, with the monitor switched to another input or removed. Trace the crash when wf-dock has no outputs, then verify that removing the output no longer crashes wf-dock or the surrounding shell.
