Fair enough. But having an xorg.conf doesn't really solve the problem
in the bug, nor do I think it is fair to have "everyone" choose
between running a utility they may not know about, or rushing to
ensure their monitor in on on every boot.

I posted this hear as -devel doesnt' seem relevant and -desktop i
thought was only for Gnome. I don't think it's good that people have
to ensure their monitor is on for what is effectively their KDE
desktop, but will never see similar problems in other OSes.
