Kcontrol -> peripherals -> display seems to be functioning, though I'm not sure \
exactly what I'm supposed to be seeing.  I get four tabs: "size, orientation, & \
positioning", "color & gamma", "hardware", and "power saving".  

The first tab doesn't let me change screen size (resolution) or refresh rate.  \
Hardware says my graphics card is "VESA driver (generic)", but I have installed and \
am using the "nvidia" driver in my xorg.conf.  It detects my monitor as "Plug 'n' \
Play" though it's a Dell 1905FP and a Dell 1704FPV.  

Nowhere do I see any "apply settings at bootup" option, though.

The SDL bug is that if there are 2 monitors, it assumes the second monitor is to the \
right of the first one.  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201268 and \
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=115273 both have this issue, and I think \
I remember seeing it described this way once before.  SDL centers the output on the \
right edge of monitor 1 (the right monitor), so only half the program's output is \
visible.

I wish I had a bug tracker link that discussed the issue, but I don't.  I'm currently \
using the suggestion in the first link, but UT is slow to close so Twinview doesn't \
switch back to dualscreen mode for about 15 seconds after UT closes its window.

Back the bug this thread was started from, though.  Now that a workaround has been \
found (manually edit kcmrandrrc), will that help developers to keep this bug from \
occurring on fresh installs?  And is this all related to kcmshell display not working \
correctly?
