Did you miss the KDE3 part? There's never been any interference from KDE3 to
global config settings that I can remember ever encountering?

I never had any doubt, after all, if in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/setup:

    xrandr > /dev/null
    xrandr --dpi 108 --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 # intel analog

then, the second xrandr in that script does produce the expected result.

1440x900 in attachment lines 2 & 7 happened on account of video=1440x900@60 on
cmdline

1680x1050 in attachment lines 21 & 23 happened on account of xrandr --dpi 108
--output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/setup

1680x1050 in attachment lines 40 & 42 is ambiguous as to why, since the query
was triggered from an xrandr command ostensibly setting mode and DPI equal to
their current states.

Except that it was already 1680x1050 before Konsole opened. Hard for me to tell
about a change being made when before = after.

This one is  59 seconds after the previous, created from Konsole, following #2
from the setup script.
