Hi guys,

Well, perhaps we can try brute forcing it to stop crashing with a
workaround.  I've prepared a new version which lets us whitelist the
drivers/devices this is allowed to run on.  Namely, this limits it to
not run on 855 or on drivers other than intel, ati, etc.

Could you please test this deb, and see if it eliminates the gnome-
settings-daemon crash when the xrandr plugin is enabled?

 http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/XrandrGui/gnome-settings-
daemon_2.21.92-0ubuntu2~bwh1_i386.deb

Note that this does NOT fix gnome-display-properties; it will still
either crash, or fail to do anything when Apply is hit.  However, if you
guys find that this solves the crash in gnome-settings-daemon, I can
apply a similar change to gnome-display-properties to make it use the
old config tool instead (or at least pop up an error dialog).

Thanks.  (Sorry I've been less responsive lately - I came down pretty
ill yesterday and have been out of sorts.)
