[Bug 46875] KDE does not save requested screen resolution

[u19809]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kcontrol

the KDM login dialog shows up in the correct resolution which means that
X is configured properly.

When I login as my user the resolution switches to 640x480.

When I select kcontrol->display and set the resolution manually or use
krandrtray to switch to the resolution I want things work just fine : resolution is switched.

When I log back out and back in the resolution is back to 640x480.

After some searching I found a file in .kde/share/config called
startupconfig.  That file contains kcmrandrc options for screens.  In my
file there are two definitions (screen0 and screen1). Kinfocenter ->
X-Server shows X only knows about one screen (#0)

The resolution specified for section screen1 matches the resolution I
get when I log in (I tried setting the value manually and indeed loggin
in selects the requested resolution).

So I think that somebody in KDE (who ?) responsible for selecting the
screen resolution select - wrongly - screen1 where it should take
screen0

** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed
