Description
The panel is placed on second monitor. After disconnecting of the monitor the panel is left on the space of that monitor and is not displayed on the connected one.
As a user I expect the panel should be displayed on the connected monitor.
Cinnamon v.2.8.0

Research direction
No file or test is named. Reproduce the issue by placing the panel on a second monitor, disconnecting it, and tracing Cinnamon's monitor and panel-placement handling. Done means the panel is automatically displayed on a connected monitor after the second monitor is disconnected, with regression coverage if the existing test structure supports it.
