If you find that your dual monitor config is changing mysteriously on you, try to find an updated version of your video drivers. At a minimum, it should not make the problem any worse. At best, your problem is solved!

If you have an thinkpad that is no problem.
There is a software called Thinkvantage Presentation Manager, in that software you can have different profiles for different thngs you do, docked, undocked, an presentation and so on....
And you can preset that everytime you dock the computer it uses the profile you want for your office.
The issue was on a Latitude D620.
Upgrading the video driver fixed the problem.
