Thanks for the comment, David. I thought I had set collect-output-p to 
the right values. When I need the output of xrandr, the argument is t. 
When all I need is the side-effect of xrandr, it is nil and the command 
shouldn't lock the window manager.

Today I saw Stumpwm to lock once again. No idea why, but xrandr didn't 
return, so I thought the explicit query for information might help and 
changed the xrandr call to 'xrandr -q'.

Necessity is the mother of invention :) I just had to find a way to cope 
with the two monitors.
