Just to clarify -- that doesn't sound like this bug "has been fixed".
It sounds like you worked around the bug on your own machine, but the
bug remains in un-worked-around inst
appending gksu before the menu command gives the appropriate permissions
to write to the file. Of course one needs to remove the
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file first so the program can save as new.

There's actually a HUGELY simple fix for this.
