System Settings - Size & Orientation don't survive a reboot [semi-SOLVED]

> > I just installed Kubuntu 11.4 on my desktop machine with tripple monitor, but for some reason the tripple monitor setup doesn't survive a reboot. When I changed it from tripple clone to tripple monitor setup, it worked fine, but after a reboot it always reverts back to dual monitor setup + a clone. I can change it to 1 - 2 - 3 in the System Settings - Size & Orientation (and it works fine), but after a reboot it always comes back as 1 - 1 - 2. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I've already Googled around, but none of the mentioned solutions seem to work for me.

> I have that same problem when only using monitor 2 and 3; it will support the 2 monitor setup even through a reboot, but will reset the resolution of monitor 2 to 1600x1200 on every reboot.

Using the proper xrandr commands in my .bashrc seems to do the trick, although I'm unable to convince KDE to use the full 1920 pixels for my taskbar yet. Oh well, on to fight another day, neh? :)

Kind regards,
