My professional ritual is very similar, except that I have external
monitors at the 3 locations between which I travel, all with different
resolutions.
There's a bit more voodoo in my ritual, however, and maybe that makes
I'm seeing only the occasional crash after switching screens (in all
cases that appears to happen when the X11 server was started with a
lower-resolution screen).
1) I go to the login screen
2) I disconnect the current external monitor. Doing this from the
login screen means that my windows remain on the screen they were, and
are not all collapsed on the internal screen
3) put the computer to sleep via the Sleep button. I prefer to tell
the software to put the hardware to sleep, rather to have the hardware
to ask the software to put it to sleep.
4) Wake up the computer on the new location
5) connect the external screen
6) log back into my account
