<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I think there's a couple of problems with this approach:
- This slows down startup for everybody, not just those who changed the setting. I'm not super-familiar with this, but isn't kcminit for this use-case?
- Changing startup procedure this late in the game (Plasma 4.x has been on LTS for almost a year, feature frozen for much longer)
- This particular KCM is dead in Plasma 5 (not really a reason to not "fix it" in 4.x, but the feature will be lost again
Again, not super-privvy of the whole picture, but isn't color correction the correct solution here?</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">applykgammasettings is only called on login for people actually installing kgamma (it's a separate tarball and separate package on openSUSE at least).
There is no change to plasma's own startup procedure, and no change at all when kgamma is not installed.
kcminit is actually used by kgamma right now (it calls the same function), but that only applies when the user enters the KCM. But the point of this setting is to be applied automatically on login/startup.</pre>

I will have a look at this then.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Thanks for the hint!
Kcminit works just fine. I just had to add some stuff to the .desktop file and rename/export the init function, so the patch is much simpler now.
Apparently it worked the way it is in KDE3 and has been forgotten to be changed when porting/moving kgamma to KDE4?</pre>

This makes it rather useless, as not even saving the settings system-wide really works any more. (this requires an xorg.conf which normally doesn't exist nowadays)
This patch uses kcminit to apply these settings again on login. Apparently this has been forgotten when moving/porting kgamma to KDE4.
PS: As there seems to be no kgamma group and this is desktop-related, I decided to add the kde-workspace and plasma groups for review. I hope that's ok... ;)</pre>
