I may regret looking at this...

I vaguely remember there being a profiles thing for Xorg et al, and there
is, but it mostly seems to be "per desktop manager" not "per display
configuration"

the only thing I could see that might help is the capacity to assign
hot-keys to arbitrary configuration/commands with openbox...

mind you, it's a loooong time since I bothered with this...
