KDE desktop's context menu

Enhancement request:  Lead to display resolutions from desktop

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right-click while on desktop area, to open its context-menu; see KDE_desktop_5.17.5_right-click.png
2. Select option 'Configure Desktop....'.

OBSERVED RESULT
That option does lead to sections where desktop's display resolution
is not covered., nor night light.  It may be that display resolutions , as well as night light, were at the time of setting the foundations the KDE Plasma environment, not considered as a category closely related to desktop.

EXPECTED RESULT
I found no more than two relevant suggestions:
- Adding an option such as 'Configure Display', to the context-menu. That's a fair option.

- Joining as subsection a section covering the display resolution to the section 'Configure Desktop...', whose current limitations regarding covering are probably considered as the appropriate ones. Note that the option'svery name does refer to such expected covering section.

KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5

There was an old patch that proposed doing just this: https://phabricator.kde.org/D14830

Unfortunately it didn't go in. I agree with you and would support revisiting that.
