No it isn't. You're confusing me with someone else. My session saves
perfectly.

It may well fix it, but that doesn't mean there isn't a bug in KDE. Let
me clarify the exact details:

* On first installing KDE4 it fired up in 4x3 mode.
* I went to Settings->Display and configured it for 16x9 mode. This took
effect immediately and worked fine.
* On logging out and in again, it reverts to 4x3 mode (and my saved
session windows are stretched).
* On invoking Settings->Display the "Resize and Rotate Your Display"
dialogue appears appears, showing 1440x900 (i.e. 16x9) and *without me
touching anything* the screen immediately resizes to 16x9. I then have
to resize my session windows to fit.

i.e. KDE *knows* the screen is 1440x900, it just doesn't set it up
correctly until poked.
