Indeed, what's the use case of this? Should be perfectly possible to
store the randr settings to apply in gconf and send the randr requests
to the server when appropriate (just like done to set input device
properties, which is why you can get a warning dialog when your GNOME
keymap setting differs from the one your server uses (the one stored in
xorg.conf)).
afaik xrandr is about *not* storing information in xorg.conf, but
discover it at runtime...
