As an intermediate user who has recently succeeded in setting up dual screens in intrepid, i'd like to offer my two cents here. Most novices are never going to find this menu because it doesnt come in with the drivers. I had to google deep to find the nvidia-settings package. I ran into this issue of not being able to save the xorg.conf. It was pretty simple to figure out how to run it with gksudo in the terminal. Since this is the workaround most people will find they are going to be running it as root anyway, why not just set it up that way. Its exactly as dangerous i think. Also if this package had just come in with the driver i wouldn't have been trying to manually edit xorg.conf earlier in the day. I appreciate the experience that it gave me working with more internals, as i'm actively trying to learn more about linux, but most users do not want to get that involved.
