If you run kephald it will query your connected monitors and set them up in a 
matching configuration. Since its your first time you run it, there are no 
remembered configurations, so it will just choose a default one to match the 
number of monitors.
It will also change the configuration for you if you plug or unplug a monitor.

You can then, with the applet, resize monitors or move them around, which will 
be saved in the configuration and restored whenever you happen to have the 
same monitors connected.
This isnt really well tested at the moment, but resizing should work always 
(if possible on the framebuffer) and moving should work at least for most 
setups.

I'll post a more detailed description in a new thread later...

It should be installed along with libkephal 
(screenmanagement/kephal/libkephal):
INSTALL (FILES FindKephal.cmake DESTINATION share/apps/cmake/modules)

Even though i'm not sure this is the right way to get it where it is actually 
picked up by cmake, it just worked on my system.

Anybody have any hints on this??
