Review request for Plasma, KDE Usability and Dan Vrátil.


Description
-------

This patch adds a context menu entry "Screen Resolution" next to the Configure 
$containment entry.
My rationale behind this is that I think many people (especially those from the 
Windows world, even more with Win7) expect to be able to manipulate the Screen 
Resolution and arrangement settings right from their Desktop. It is easily 
adjustable in case kcm_randr gets replaced by the new kscreen-based one.
Since this was a quick patch I am fine with it not being included, especially 
since I do not know what plans there are for the new display configuration in 
terms of easy quickaccess using a plasmoid (ie. common settings such as 
"Clone", "Projector Only", "Extend Right", etc)
I initially wanted to add the KCM directly to the backgrounddialog thing but 
that would have made it too complex, I guess. (I thought there was an easy 
function to just add an existing kcm to a paged dialog, but I couldn't 
remember).
The wording/appearance of the entry could definitly be better (the ellipsis 
should be dropped there, I think)

Testing
-------

Entry shows up (enabled by default), can be enabled and disabled, and clicking 
it triggeres the Randr KCM.
