+	The reason for the existance of this option is that after losing signal
+	from the PC (e.g. by `wlopm -off`), some monitors do an input detection
+	that makes it appear (from the PC side) to disconnect and reconnect a
+	few seconds later, causing the monitor to turn back on again (as labwc
+	auto-enables newly connected outputs by default).
+
+	An example usage pattern to avoid the above behavior looks as follows:
+	- Set *<core><autoEnableOutputs>* to *no*
+	- Run kanshi (e.g. from autostart) and rely on it to enable new outputs
+	- Have swayidle kill and restart kanshi when entering powersave as

 *<core><reuseOutputMode>* [yes|no]
 	Try to re-use the existing output mode (resolution / refresh rate).
