Woah! 640x480! This is a very old resolution and you will see thing so big! Why you want to change to so few resolution?

That annoying bug happened to me from 1st installation of Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.13, then updated to 4.12 Beta2 adn 4.2 RC1 and is not solved! I dont know why so many effects with KWin (that Im affraid to use from fist version for turned black my creen) cause that is MOST IMPORTANT cs evetime I had to set it to my res! I have reolution set to 1024 and Im not "visually-impaired" or have an 24" CRT, Ive a 19"LCD. It si for fonts are very small (size 9) and hard to read, in Konqueror more, this didnt happened in Kubuntu 8.04 with KDE 3.5.9. Iv to force to 96DPI, and this is not fixed too!I like big icons, btw some install the Apple panel that has more big icons...
I started krandrtray in first kde 4 versions but when I reboot disapeared from SysTray and res was set to max. I ran it now on KDE 4.2 but when IO reboot prob I ll get he same error. As I dont know how to add krandrtray to the list of applications that get started at default and I think that is better find a solution at the root of that really fixes the problem to future releses but I dont understand las solution Kenet said:

" **THE RATIONALE**
The prototypical visually-impaired grandma with the 24" CRT that her geeky son
set to 1024x768 will have to reconfigure her system each and every time she
logs in. This would get really annoying, really fast. (It's annoying when it
happens to me, at least.)
Also, -unless the "automatically start Strigi, Nepomuk, and Akonadi" setting is
stored somewhere other than ~/.kde4- we're starting Strigi, Nepomuk, and
Akonadi on startup as well. I imagine that an average user would care about his
desktop resolution decision being constantly ignored long before he worried
about file indexing.

And, Half-Left in #kde spoke to Aaron Seigo about it. Siego agreed that it
should be started by default."
