[Bug 268434] Re: Screen Resolution is not being restored after relogin

[michealPW]

Hey everyone.

I've recently installed KUbuntu v12.04 (KDE v4.8.4) and experienced
similiar issues with the "Display and Monitor".

Here's what I've found in my testing/research. First, the "Display and
Monitor" KCM can be used to generate an ~/.kde/share/config/.krandrrc
file which is used to save your resolution/refresh rate settings.

The trick is, this file is NOT created when you click "Apply", you must
click "Save as default" after clicking "Apply" to generate this file.

Since Xorg no longer uses an xorg.conf by default, there's really no
other way for the system to persist resolution/rate changes except in
the .krandrrc script (Generated by the "Save as default" button in the
"Display and Monitor" KCM.)

I've read all the bug-report submissions and all the reproduction
methods skip this button. They set their resolution, click "Apply" and
then observe the new resolution change. They restart and then observe
the old resolution... The problem, I think I've found, is we're not
clicking "Save as default" after clicking "Apply"

I think a logical solution is to have the "Apply" button's handler
function also call the handler function for "Save as default" which will
eliminate this unexpected behavior for all new KDE users.

Thanks for your time.
