Public bug reported:

After running some bad resolution changing fullscreen application, the user set
desktop resolution is not restored on quite many occasions. 

This is frequent if the display changing application is terminated abnormally
(crashed, killed). 

Several bugtrackers are full of "desktop resolution wrong after running xy"
complaints. This cannot be blamed to bad programs any more. The resolution
should be handled just like memory or file handles - if the screen posessing
process gets terminated, the OS / xserver should take care of restoring the
desktop.

I've already filed this one at bugs.freedesktop.org, but it is declared solved there as of  Thu Oct 9 22:22:53 2008 +0200. 
For me, it isn't.
