Bug Description
I use Kubuntu/Feisty on a IBM T60 laptop with an external monitor (dual head). After modifying the display config the System Setting -> Monitor & Display does no longer work. It says:
The module Monitor & Display could not be loaded
The output of
kcmshell displayconfig
is listed below. It seems to be a problem with a missing "screenconfig" property - or maybe I'm wrong.

Based on "AttributeError: 'XF86Screen' object has no attribute 'screenconfig'" it seems to be a duplicate of Bug 91545, based on that comment [1] there should be a patch available upstream.
