It is however ridiculous that changing the monitor setup requires an X server restart, so the config file is the wrong place for that.

Sure, and I did exactly that (the script) and it is working. It's just that I have to call it manually after plugging in the external monitor, it'd be better/nicer/cooler if that happened automatically. krandrtray is broken in various ways since testing is still on KDE 4.6, see http://www.afiestas.org/display-configuration-in-kde-workspace-4-7-1/ Kind regards, Ralf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
