For some reason, this got worse this morning: I am no longer able to use
kscreen appropriately. When I disable the internal laptop screen (e.g.,
to work on an external screen exclusively), kscreen crashes and the
previous configuration is restored. This makes kscreen completely unusable.

Please consider backporting the patch I mentioned in the initial report:
<https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/libs/libkscreen/repository/revisions/891fea508e1d1157ce6cd8ddc6005fc4b8f563fd/diff>

Kind regards
Ralf
