  This is a great example. It would be wonderful if you could do something 
like that, but how do you actually link the key-setting to an action (which 
in this case would be to make my desktop go into the resolution specified). 
And in the other hand, I see you running the rg set command as root - now a 
simple user who owns the display couldn't set the resolution like that? And 
if he can, should it be ok for another user than the one owning the display 
to change the resolution? How do you link the key-setting to the actual 
ownership of the objects affected by that setting?
