2008-11-05 Thread Matthias Andree
OK, let's summarize this: - KDE4's "detect RandR (monitor) changes" service (part of kded4) calls upon XRRGetScreenResources() every 10 seconds (see Tormod's comment above, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta- kde/+bug/278471/comments/15). XRRGetScreenResources() is reportedly slow. -
