           Summary: Display settings not restored after reboot
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: andysem at mail.ru


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

I have Kubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.8 installed (upgraded from 4.7.3) on a MacBook
Pro (ATI video, opensource ati driver) with an external monitor attached. The
laptop display resolution is 1440x900, the external monitor is 2560x1440.

I have set up the displays in the System Settings as follows: the external
monitor is right of the laptop display, and is selected as the main display. I
have saved this configuration as the default. However, after reboot the
configuration is lost and the external display is set to resolution 1280x800 or
so at offset 0, 0 (i.e. it clones the top left part of the laptop display).

Also, I have noticed that if I restore my display configuration by hand (i.e.
set the display resolution and layout _and_ select the external monitor as the
main display) and only then press Apply, the laptop display is sometimes left
black. It does show windows and mouse, but it doesn't react to right clicks and
has no wallpaper. However, If I set resolutions and layout, press Apply, then
select the external monitor as the main one and press Apply the second time,
this doesn't happen. I didn't test this too much, so I can't tell how
consistent this is.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup the multiple displays layout.
2. Save it as the default layout.
3. Reboot and login.

Actual Results:  
The saved configuration is lost.

Expected Results:  
The displays configuration should be restored.

This didn't happen on 4.7, the saved settings restored after logging in as KDE
booted into the workplace.
