Feature Request: detect GPU switch in certain HP model laptops #290

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I am using OHM 0.3.2 beta with Windows 7 64-bit in an HP DV7-4263CL laptop.  
This model is one that has two GPUs present: a Radeon HD 4250 and a Radeon HD 
6370.  The AMD Catalyst software has a power management option to switch 
between them automatically when the power source changes.  OHM detects both 
GPUs, but only displays certain information for the active one (obviously).  I 
configured a tooltray icon to display the 6370 GPU's temperature, but I 
discovered a problem: when I shift to battery power and then revert to mains 
power - and perhaps also recover from hibernation - this icon for the GPU does 
not get restored automatically.  I must use File|Reset in order to (apparently) 
force OHM to re-detect the active GPU and refresh a relevant tooltray icon.

Ideally OHM should detect the GPU switch and automatically refresh all relevant 
displays.
