I noticed that running the gnome-display-properties application also triggers this; I was able to consistently trigger this bug by:
1) first having my external monitor unplugged 2) plugging it in; at this point, nothing happens. 3) start gnome-display-properties -> X.org goes insane and the display properties app stays unresponsive. (it appears to work if gnome-power-manager is not running, but clicking "detect monitors" seems to trigger the bug regardless.) -- 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
