Can you explain why this is beneficial? I have a mac laptop and pc desktop at home that i switch between depending on whatever I need to do. By triggering a disconnect, it means all my mac windows that are on the main monitor will zip back over to the laptop so they're still reachable if i need to access them with the trackpad and integrated keyboard. When I switch the kvm back to mac all those windows jump back to the main monitor.

Also, even if the drivers are solid, they take longer to renegotiate with a monitor that was removed and plugged back in compared to one they think was always there, which matters if you switch back and forth frequently. Lastly, sometimes the OS doesn't put things back they way they were when you plug a monitor back in. If you have a laptop which has a lower resolution display than the external monitor, you'll often return to find all the windows shrunk to fit the laptop display. Not an issue if you run everything full-screen, but annoying if you tile windows.
