Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
USE CASE
User boots with a monitor attached and Ubuntu decides that the external
monitor is the Primary monitor. Gnome panels attach themselves to the
external screen. User disconnects from external screen (which I do at
least 5 times a day) and discover that a) I cannot access the GNOME
panels and worse ) I cannot access the "Display - Change screen
resolution" applet either.
There are clearly many ways of attacking this:
- Can we make the Display Screen Resolution applet functionality (where
you can manipulate where the screens are) visible via the "Change
Desktop Background" window. At least when a user cannot see the
standard GNOME panels - they can still unattach the additional monitor.
- Can we introduce the concept of primary and secondary monitors and
allow a user to state which one is which. (Auto detection of the most
commonly used one would be great too)
- Should the right click on the desktop really be named - CHANGE DESKTOP
BACKGROUND - can we use something more generic?
