Bug Description

I decided to try wayland and got several issues, in the order of (subjective) importance:

================================================================
### Issue 1

I have two monitors, one of which is rotated 90 degrees, so I tried to set them up in wayland session (as I did in X). You can see on the screenshot "wayland_display_settings.jpg" that I specified that it is rotated and pressed "Apply", and one of them *is* rotated on the preview.
However, you can see that actual content on that display is not rotated.
Also, note where the task panel is located on the first display - it is in the centre of the screen.

Just in case, here is xrand command I am using in X:
xrandr --output DP-2 --mode 3840x2160 --pos 0x790 --scale 1.1875x1.1875 \
       --output DP-0 --mode 3840x2160 --pos 4560x0 --rotate left --primary

================================================================
### Issue 2

It looks like some options are missing. In X, there are:
   * "Replica of: None" option, which disables duplicating of image.
   * "Primary" checkbox, which removes panel from secondary display.
but there are not such options in Wayland.

================================================================
### Issue 3

Scaling deteriorates sharpness, makes thin lines blurry. See screenshot of Krusader 125scale_vs_100scale.png. Thin lines become blurry.

I was using this short guide to setup Wayland: https://community.kde.org/Plasma/Wayland/Nvidia
