Here's why ...

Here are possible answers :


What do you do when an app is saved and the second monitor is not available anymore?

The same thing you do when you were in 1600x1200 and switched back to 640x480. Basically it's just a difference between width and height in both cases.

And how do you handle getting the windows lost on the second monitor back in a user friendly manner?

Managing a nuclear blast can not be handled in a user friendly manner, same thing for monitor lost.

And how do you do all of this intuitively to someone whose second monitor blew up and the system hasn't yet detected the monitor as being "dead"?

You do nothing because the graphic card health is the information, not the health of the monitor. Try on a two monitors settings to unplug the VGA connector to your graphic card.

And where do you put those windows when you do detect the monitor is gone?

Nothing because nothing can tell you whether the user is getting rid of its 15" display to replace it with a 21" display.
