Actually, it does. I want ordinary users to be able to change their
display settings when moving their PC around. Ordinary users should
*not* be able to change the system defaults. So this kind of setting
should be per user IMHO.

On the other hand, with a laptop you always know you have at least one
screen that is not rotated for your login prompt. :-)
