Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon
Using gnome-settings-daemon to activate my external monitor (using the
XF86Display (Fn+F7) key on my thinkpad, which I've configured as the
binding in /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/keybindings/xrandr), in jaunty
the resolution of the external display is set to match that of my LCD.
In previous releases, this correctly used the xrandr-preferred
resolution.
Output of xrandr after connecting the monitor and hitting Fn+F7:
