patch for randrmonitor.cpp

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

This is a patch to the kded_randrmonitor service that solves the below mentioned problem.
If only one output is connected and the user tries to switch the display it makes sure the connected output gets activated and deactivates all disconnected output afterwards.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect an external display to your laptop and use your latop's hotkey (e.g. Fn+F6) to active it and deactivate your laptop's display.
2. Disconnect the external display
3. Try to switch back to internal display with your keyboard

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

added: disable disconnected outputs and enable a connected output on resume from suspend

I improved my patch.
Now it also automatically deactivates all disconnected outputs on resume from suspend and switches to a connected monitor if needed. This should fix e.g. Bug #257642.
Please test.

I also want to propose to change the behaviour of RandROutput::isActive() to just check for a valid crtc, because a output can be "active" without beeing connected.
