If yes, does that automatically mean KScreen 1.0? If yes, that apparently means some people won't be able to use 13.1's KDM4. KScreen 1.1 looks like will be required to restore usability I depend on. Maybe I can bypass KScreen 1.0 by using KDM3 with KDE4 apps? See thread beginning: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-hardware-devel/2013-June/002248.html
As Luca already indicated, we will ship 4.11.x with the next openSUSE release. It will contain KScreen and it will be the preferred method to deal with screen settings.
That thread failed to indicate some other method might be an option.
Which KScreen version will be delivered depends on its release schedule.
Is it one of those string dependent things that gets shut out 3 months before GA happens? Does it depend on some particular subversion of kdebase4-workspace, or is it more like a standalone app able to be advanced or held back out of sync with the rest of KDE basics?
For the minority that would require a different screen setup or can not work with KScreen for whatever reason, have the option to remove it from their system and to return/stay with the old xrandr/krandr solution.

I guess you meant to use KDE3 with KDE4 apps, because switching just KDM3 will not really help as that the KDE4 workspace will still start KScreen if installed.
I had no idea what KScreen hooks into or depends on it or vice versa. Your response helps, but I wonder whether there is more to know that might matter to a non-programmer like me. I've done very little intentional mixing of KDE3 with KDE4. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
