Bug Description
Binary package hint: kde-guidance
The first time a displayconfig is run for a system with no xorg.conf, it will not detect monitor settings. To detect monitor settings the user needs to:
1. System Settings --> Monitor & Display
2. Obtain Administrative rights
3. Select the appropriate monitor
4. Apply the changes
5. Restart X (logout and login or ctrl-alt-backspace)
6. System Settings --> Monitor & Display
7. Obtain Administrative rights
8. Configure display settings to taste and apply them
This is a substandard user experience.

#5. Restart X isn't actually required.
