Dolphin won't restore to right size.

[Derek Trotter]

The only time Dolphin goes to a different size is when I restore it from 
being maximized.  I can go into system settings and display doesn't list 
the vga output, It lists DVI-I-0 and lists nothing for it.  Then it 
shows DVI-I-1 and says it's connected.  It doesn't list the vga output 
which is connected.  Maybe that has something to do with it.  I won't 
worry about it too much right now.  I'll keep trying to find something 
in the kernel parameters that I can use to stop this thing from locking up.

Thanks
Derek
