This is looking much better, but still has some issues I'd like to see taken 
care of before I commit:

- It won't compile at all without xrandr
- It won't compile at all if using_x11 isn't defined
- Why is everything in DisplayRes static?  I don't see a reason for that..
- Why is the DisplayRes class a public member of the context?  I think it'd 
live best as a singleton class (see some recent mediamonitor changes), but at 
the least it should be a private member with an accessor function.

Other suggestions:
- I'd make the display res class grab its own settings, and not feed em in 
through Activate() & addRes().
- I would _really_ prefer it if your patch followed the rest of the style 
conventions ('if' is not a function, 4 space indents, etc).  Otherwise, I 
have to spend time fixing things as I apply it.
