Well its funny you asked.

I had an idea Gnome was working but lxqt was not, testing this a bit I 
get the second display up if the display port is connected to the port 
furthest away from the screen, not the port closest to the screen.

Give me second screen up on Debian sid ~ reliably but only through the 
port furthest away from the ESC key.

Plugging the cable in and out at the gdm prompt seems to crash gdm.

The best result for me seems to be log in and then connect the cable 
furthest away from the screen.

I don't think the WM makes a real difference.
