Research direction

Start by reproducing the sequence on Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.2: switch between beamers, power down and log in with the second connected. Compare the display state before and after opening the screen-configuration menu and choosing “join the screens.” Done means the second beamer displays the desktop immediately after login without that manual action.
