It doesn't have anything to do with KDE. Fact is XFree86 untill very 
recently didn't support changing resoloution on the fly, so in XFree86 
you had to shutdown X in order to change settings, and then start it 
again. This _change_in_the_fly thing was only recently added to XFree86 
4.3 So the KDE and Gnome guys couldn't implement such a feature because 
X didn't support it. 

Now that XFree86 supports it, the KDE guys are implementing it, and KDE 
3.2 will have such a feature.
