[Bug 554948] Re: Display settings change defaults to keep, not revert

Proposed release note:

Kubuntu GUI display configuration tools (both in systemsettings and the
separate krandrtray application) will not automatically revert to their
previous display configuration.  If the display configuration is set to
a non-working configuration, other tools will have to be used to reset
the display to a working configuration either by connecting to the
system via SSH or rebooting into recovery mode.  For example, using
xrandr, you can determine the current configuration using:

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --current

and then change the configuration to a safe mode using:

sudo DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output [DISPLAY NAME] --mode [NEW RESOLUTION]
sudo DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 2048x1536

See man xrandr and xrandr -h for more information.
