[Bug 27457] Re: on logout X should restart if xorg.conf was changed since last X login

[cimmo]

also it can be useful to have an automatic backup of xorg.conf file, is
something is going wrong and x.org crash with the new config file then
the old one backupped should be restored.

I found a related bug on kde.org, although it was denied. I've
suggested what's mentioned here, so we'll see what happens.

I don't know the problem of the reporter of
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=137029 but every SUSE I've installed
automatically restarts X on logout if a change to xorg.conf has occurred
and only one user was logged in through KDM.

Since with jaunty Alt+Ctrl+Bks does not work maybe this wish should be
promoted to a bug?

[Jonathan Thomas]

Nope. Even before crtl + alt + backspace was removed, the proper way to
restart X from kdm was to press alt + e, or choose the restart X option
from the options menu. Additionally, you can re-enable crtl + alt +
backspace from System Settings.

[Jonathan Thomas]

Also, this bug is becoming less important since xorg.conf usage is being
phased out in graphics drivers. If somebody feels strongly about this
issue, they should take it up again with KDE. But on a distro level I
don't think anybody cares enough/we don't have enough resources.
