I switch between 1 and 2 Xscreens with a special key on my vaio VGN-Z wich causes an acpi event. That event links the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to the one needed for one- or for two X-Screens and restarts the gdm.
I made a workaround to bypass the trouble this bug effects: I created the file /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default as follows: ---------------------- #!/bin/sh # # workaround for bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/nautilus/+bug/508890 show_desktop='true' grep Screen1 /etc/X11/xorg.conf && show_desktop='false' eval su $USER -c \'gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop -t bool $show_desktop\' ---------------------- .. and made it executable. This detects if 1 or two X-screens are driven and activates or deactivates the /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop option as required. -- Nautilus crashes when there are multiple XScreens https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508890 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
