I took a look in /var/log/messages and saw these two outputs right
after connecting to the dock with second monitor connected:
Jul 16 19:35:15 JohansenDev /etc/gdm/Xsession[1241]:
(gnome-settings-daemon:1425): GnomeDesktop-CRITICAL **:
gnome_rr_output_info_get_geometry: assertion `GNOME_IS_RR_OUTPUT_INFO
(self)' failed

(gnome-settings-daemon:1425): GnomeDesktop-CRITICAL **:
gnome_rr_output_info_get_geometry: assertion `GNOME_IS_RR_OUTPUT_INFO
(self)' failed

Are there any other logs I can take a look at? Or anything else I can
do to help diagnose the cause of this issue?

Thanks,
Dave
