Will,
Since your online and a x/kde expert, can you tell if there is a way
in KDM / kde 3.5 / kde 4.2.2 to force a re-detect of attached monitors
and an associated reconfig of X.
Currently I can only get it to happen on kde logout. Not horrible,
but if for instance I boot my laptop to a login screen, then connect
up a projector, it is not detected until I login / logout.
After that I'm good but it is a little slow to have to do that. I'd
like at least a way to do this from the kdm login screen.
Thanks
Greg

I just wanted to ask here what do you have in kde3.5 and don't find in kde4 and you would like to have. Not to say you will have it but to give info to devs...
Believe it or not - it's the individually configurable virtual desktops. To separate areas of work/leisure/communications/background tasks/etc I have no less than 8 virtual desktops on my KDE3.x system, each configured with different colors and wallpapers, so as to be distinguishable at a glance; they are also configured so as to be reachable via simple key combos. Once you have more than 10-15 applications open at once, alt-tabbing through them becomes progressively a no-no. Multiple desktops are the most productive solution I've found so far.
Fixed in KDE trunk - each desktop can have its own settings now, including wallpaper and applets.
