having that popup notification working took some serious time getting right.

latest avail.
v0.61 (20602) - 26 oct.
* GUI notification improved, using threading instead - should make it appear more consistent (thanks to rtv for helping out.)
* Also fixed a problem with restoring the default RR in case the user has this option activated.
* Introduced a new key ..again .. <entry name="force_refresh_rate">no</entry>
This is best kept at the default value "no".
What it does is simple. Normally the refreshrate changer code queries the gfx card on the current refreshrate, if this is different to the new refreshrate, then we apply the new refreshrate. Normally it would be silly to execute an external script to set a refreshrate that is already applied.
buuuut, sometimes when using eg. powerstrip to change the refreshrate, the gfx card is unware of this change, so it still reports back to MP the old refresh rate.
This is where the "force_refresh_rate=yes" comes in handy.
It always applies the refreshrate regardless of current refreshrate.
