[Bug 156576] [NEW] Kubuntu wish: Save current display settings as...

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

First some motivation:
At work I have an extra monitor of type A connected to my laptop. This monitor has certain resolution characteristics, is placed to the *right* of the laptop, has adjusted gamma/brightness/contrast in a certain way and the display if functioning as an extended desktop.
In the meeting room, I connect the projector to the laptop but this projector should just display a mirror of my primary display on the laptop - in a lower resolution, however.
At home I have connected another monitor of type B, but this is placed to the *left* of the laptop with another configuration of gamma/brightness/contrast and with other resolution characteristics.

The wish:
I would like to be able to easily switch between each location specific display configuration without having to redo all the configuration work manually each time I switch location (which happens several times a day!).

Solution suggestion:
In the display configuration in System Settings, a "save current config" button could be added together with a text input widget allowing the user to save the current configuration together with a label (e.g. "work", "meeting room" or "home").
The user should be able to restore a saved display config by simply selecting it from a dropdown menu showing all the saved display configs.

It should, of course, be possible to adjust a saved configuration with
updated parameter settings.

Optimally, the dropdown menu should also be available as a desktop
applet, allowing the user to switch display config directly, without
having to visit System Settings -> Display Config.
