Xft, RANDR and subpixel aliasing

Hi,

I noticed the following problem:

Suppose you have an rgb flatpanel, and you want subpixel rendering.

So you add 'Xft.rgba: rgb' to your resource database.
This works fine.

Now you use RANDR to rotate your screen. -> Xft doesn't detect this, and
keeps using 'rgb', which is wrong. It should be vrgb or vbgr, depending
on your rotation.

Ok, so you think, I'll set 'Xft.rgba: vrgb' in my resource database.
Alas, this does not work either, because for some reason, Xft only reads
this resource at startup.

So, what can be done about this?
- Xft should check the Xft.rgba resource more often, or
- Xft detects rotation somehow and automatically adjusts, obviating the
  need of having to check what the current rotation is.

What do you think?

Wout.
