IMO, kscreen is going to have to do a lot of maturing before I'd want to use
it. The version I tried kscreen-0.9.0-2.20121228git.fc19.x86_64 seemed to
do almost nothing - when I tested by plugging external hdmi I like the
original kde screen mangement much better.
Verison 0.9 is an old git snapshot, current official release is 0.0.71 (I
thought we will start official versioning from 1.0, thus I picked 0.9, but
Alex decided to use different versioning scheme at the end).
(lib)kscreen-1:0.0.71 is in updates-testing at the moment, please use this
version test (and sorry for the confusion).
