Display settings should not be per user

I'm using two 1280x1024 displays rotated 90 degrees with an Nvidia
graphics card, and I was very impressed by Fedora 12, because it was the
first Fedora release where I could get this setup working without using
Nvidia's closed source driver, and I didn't even have to fiddle with
xorg.conf. After a few very intuitive changes in
gnome-display-properties, it was just perfect.

There's only one problem, and it's that the display settings are per
user, and I can't even find a way to change the settings for the login
screen.

Why would anyone even want user specific display settings? Are users
expected to move monitors around between logging in? Per user settings
might be useful as a feature, but it's a very unfriendly default, or am
I missing something?
