The reason is that when some output is set as primary, the signal is emitted right away. This can happen before the old primary is unset though, which then causes crashes in screenInvariants() in some situations/configurations. Listening to Config::primaryOutputChanges ensures that Plasma reacts only once, and only when the Config is consistent.
