I think we need a general debate first, about how to grant permission
to only specific clients to change output configuration.
Or even not making it part of the main protocol at all, just being an
extension or so.
We might not want every application to have control of these things.

Why changing the width and height datatype within this patch?
That would be another patch. But Kristian denied that somewhen already.
