Issue with undocking and unaccessible display

I am using displaylink via Dynadock - so when I say undock, I am unplugging the single USB connector from my MBP 13" Retina.

I did this the other day, closed the lid, and when I went to use my laptop, I noticed that finder and some other apps had windows open I could not access.

Could not tab to them (tilde tab), I could not merge or bring to front, Mission control would not show them.

In the end the only solution was to kill the displayLink process. I was able to restart finder before that to fix the finder window issue. But the other apps, had windows I could not get to.

Unfortunately killing displayLink did kill a couple apps, so I don't consider this a good solution.

I am running 2.5 release version - any other suggestions? Other then to move all apps/windows off my extended desktop before disconnecting?
