Yes, display settings/modes, adding/removing monitors, managing work
area, restoring resolution on process exit, etc.  There would be parts
in user32, parts in the driver, but it should all run in the context of
the explorer process. Normal processes should retrieve the info from
explorer instead of using graphics driver calls.
