"""Fork a child process and inform it of mode changes to each screen. The child waits until the parent process dies, and then connects to each X server with a mode change and restores the mode. This emulates the behaviour of Windows and Mac, so that resolution changes made by an application are not permanent after the program exits, even if the process is terminated uncleanly. The child process is communicated to via a pipe, and watches for parent death with a Linux extension signal handler.
