[Bug 571657] [NEW] resolution not preserved by KDE

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I just updated via
"[URL="https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades/Kubuntu"]update-
notifier-kde -a[/URL]" from 9.10.

Initially for some reason the desktop wouldn't appear though it allowed
the login and then showed the KDM ("login") wallpaper and splash-screen
but never completed.

I flicked to a terminal Alt-F1, logged in and did a "sudo dpkg
--configure -a" but it seemed everything had been config-ed fine. Then I
did "sudo aptitude", updated, and had a look for anything that looked
glaringly wrong in the available KDE packages. plasma-desktop wasn't
installed (anymore) and so I installed that and there were a few
automatic upgrades too.

Result is it works but 2 problems persist:

1) The screen resolution setting is broken - it isn't sticky and reverts
on boot, it also displays a different res to that used. If I'm fussy I
think that the gamma setting is a bit weird as well.

2) there's a display bug where the colour of the taskbar isn't being
drawn correctly. I consider this to be pretty minor.

I've not reported this second bug.
