           Summary: kde startup breaks XRandR setup
           Product: kdelibs
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdelibs-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: apaku gmx de


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

After switching from Xinerama/Xorg 7.2 to XRandR/Xorg 7.3 for a multi-head setup KDE broke the working XRandR setup when I ran startkde. The problem is the randr-configuration thats stored in startupconfig and has hardcoded values for the screens and their positions. Then during startkde these values are read and set via xrandr and this breaks if something changed in the setup and the user doesn't get notified at all.

In my case the kde startup just disabled the 2nd head.
