It would be cool if such a program detects if one is using XFree86 and if
so, allow one to change the res using a menu.

Maybe even allow multiple desktops use different resolutions?

Maybe even add a property to kdelnk that allows to switch to a specific
resolution before running (there is such a program - QRes - for windoze95).
