Public bug reported:

HI,

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 with KDE4. it was new installation of Kubuntu Jaunty.
I running on Sony Vaio laptop with nvidia card.
Using external monitors, Fujitsu in the office and Samsung at home.
So there are 3 cases. 
1. LCD only, 
2. LCD + samsung, twinview, 
3. LCD + Fugitsu , twinview

When I work at home and next day go to office and I have xorg.conf
configured to use case 2 and I startup my laptop connected to Fugitsu
monitor, I can see login screen addapted to wrong resolution which is
not much of trouble but after loggin in my desktop and panels don't come
up, I get just blackj background and cursor. switching between consoles
work also running any programs using alt+F2 is ok.. So I assume plasma
can't get up. There is no plasma in process list so when I run it
manually as my user it does produce attached output and doesn;t come up.
If I run plasma by superuser ti comes up OK, just everything I run is
under root and I don't want that obviously.

What I have to do everytime I boot up system with different monitor
attached or even with no monitor attached is to go to console and copy
appropriate xorg.conf file and restart xserver.

What I would expect ideally would be remembering configuration for
particular monitor attached and if not that at least plasma to work and
possibility to change settings using nvidia-settings. Right now I can
change configuration using nvidia settings but plasma doesn't come up
and I have to save xorg.cong and restart xserver. This used to work this
way in gnome on 8.10 I used before.
