Ok that actually worked! Very odd behavior though. Shouldn't xrandr be
showing all the modes of the monitor regardless.. not just what fits
in the available virtual size (this causes confusion). But I just
upped the virtual size to "3360 1200" and when I hot plug via VGA it
now works.

Yes I'll file a bug and get back to the list with more info in the
morning (my time) ;-)
