[Bug 201429] Re: xrandr+KDE4+desktop-effects: changing orientation with nvidia drivers fails to update desktop size

[Logan Lewis]

I'm not sure if the kwin crash while enabling a second monitor is
related to the original problem.  Nonetheless, I can confirm it with
Kubuntu 8.10 using the intel driver on a 965GM (X3100) graphics chip.
My workaround is to kill plasma first, do the xrandr commands, and
reload plasma.  If you do this then kwin won't crash during the
transition.  Since I have this mapped to a keyboard shortcut, it's less
annoying than it could be.

There are certainly other plasma bugs with xrandr: the background and
plasmoids aren't drawn on my internal LCD when an external monitor gets
enabled.  I can create a new panel and move it over, though.
