Yes, the display manager should keep track of the resolution and
monitor that an application window has requested. Then it should
switch between resolutions for the monitor the application is on when
the window becomes active. And back to another resolution if another
window becomes active. And back to the default desktop resolution if
no more windows that want mode setting are available on that monitor.
And no need for root permissions, that's just nonsense.

Maybe I'll actually try to implement this for Wayland once we support
it but I doubt if they'll welcome it.
