As we discussed on IRC, this is fine for distros where the program is being used on the locally shipped X server, with a consistent support in the Xrandr client library and the local X server. (e.g. Fine in the context of a disto local patch). For an upstream fix, they must consider the case where the X server might be remote, where it is much more likely that the client library and server extention don't match in feature-set. -- upgrade to 2:1.2.99.2-0ubuntu1 makes session utterly slow https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
