I agree, but I don't like the idea of two Display settings in the menus
-- if a user wants to configure their display they have a choice of two
buttons. However, desktop size is per-user, but driver selection is
per-system.
Could the best solution be a per-user Display capplet with R&R config,
gamma (one thing I want, and will do at some point), with a button for
Device Configuration?
