That looks OK to me.  I do:
NSNotificationCenter *dnc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[dnc addObserver: self selector: @selector (didChangeScreenParameters:)
    name: NSApplicationDidChangeScreenParametersNotification object: nil];
...
- (void) didChangeScreenParameters: (NSNotification *) notification
{
    ...
}
What object is 'self' in your scenario?  It needs to exist for the life of the app, obviously.

I tried this one but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, so odds are I am adding the observer wrong. I am a little new at this, if that wasn't obvious haha.
// Second notification, when the screens change
[nc addObserver:self
selector:@selector(handleBackgroundChange:)
name:NSApplicationDidChangeScreenParametersNotification
object:nil];
The handleBackgroundChange is just supposed to print a message with NSLog.

  Returns a stale value for [NSScreen visibleFrame] after the dock
  moves from one screen to another (on Snow Leopard at least).
  Solution: wait a second or so, then ask again.
  This notification is also sent when the screen arrangement or
  dock is reconfigured.  I find this useful.

  Hey all,
  After some searching through the API, which apparently I am not
  good at, I figured asking was easier. Does anyone know of a
  notification that gets posted when another screen is
  added/detected. I figured it would be in NSWorkspace but I
  didn't see anything. Thanks.
