the monitors.xml is what is written by the gnome-display-properties configuration dialog, what you described before seems to be that you managed to have the tools writting screen settings which were not working on your configuration, it would be interesting to know if those worked and stopped due

As of last December, with the version of ~/.config/monitors.xml attached to comment #3 present, the problem occurred. With it absent, it did not. Several updates to the kernel and other components have happened in the intervening time. gnome-control-center is currently at version

There is one physical VGA connector on the card, and no other video output such as a TV out connector, so I certainly didn't deliberately configure more than one monitor. I am reasonably certain that this specific CRT is also the only monitor that has been connected to this box since Ubuntu was

I can confirm that changing display resolution seems to be a necessary trigger for the problem -- I'd originally left this detail out of my bug493016 report, but Bryce suggested they might be dups, and this report reminded me I'd tweaked resolution. Again, only one monitor on this ancient box,

I have found a workaround, and appear to have repaired my original user account's settings. I found by comparing the various settings files and folders that the bad user had a file named ~/.config/monitors.xml but the newly created and usable user did not. Renaming that file was sufficient to

That file is actually provided by the gnome display configuration tools, so moving this bug to gnome-control-center. Perhaps your output names changed or something, and gnome-display- properties is not handling the error that this causes. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) = gnome-control-center

Interesting. A brand new user account gets a working session. I created a new user, and tried logging in to the default GNOME session. This gave me the default desktop, panels and menus. At this point, I can see that even a successful login produces a fair number of error messages in the
