--- Comment #8 from Marc Schoechlin <ms-kdebugs@256bit.org> ---
Unbelievable that this is broken for years and at the other side kde add tons
of new fancy features.

KDE stores the xrandr setup in $HOME/.kde/share/config/startupconfig - and
restores the saved settings without checking the referenced outputs.

Ubuntu unity has a almost perfect handling of xrandr with multiple
monitor-setups.

Probably just implement the following things:
- save xrandr configuration in a profile which contains detailed information
about connected monitors
  (resolutions, active outputs...)
- only reactivate a stored xrandr configuration if exactly the same setup
appears again
- otherwise clone output on all connected monitors

What do you think?

Where can i find the sourcecode which causes this problem?
Can you describe a simple procedure how to compile and test this part of kde?
