That has nothing to do with gaming, even if games most often expose this behavior. If any application is dealing with unique ressources like the screen configuration, it should not be trusted in its behavior, like it is not trusted in its memory recycling. If a program quits, the kernel ensures it's memory is freed. So should X care about screen settings.
The only exception would be explicit screen setting tools that still must be able to change the resolution permanently. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626321 Title: X.org server should keep track of and restore its initial (desktop) resolution and refresh rate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/wine/+bug/626321/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
