Public bug reported:
I booted the 64-bit Ubuntu Mate Alpha 2 desktop live image (ubuntu-
mate-14.10-alpha2-desktop-amd64.iso)--which has mate-control-center
1.8.1+dfsg1-4--on a virtual machine created and run in VMware
Workstation 10.0.3 build-1895310. I selected Try Ubuntu, and when the
desktop came up, I went to System > Preferences > Monitors and
successfully changed the resolution from 800x600 to 1440x900. Several
seconds later, I re-entered the Monitor Preferences (by accessing it
from the MATE menu in the same way as before) and clicked Make Default,
which appeared to succeed.
It showed my monitor as "Unknown" but I doubt that is a contributing
factor for this crash. I would not have known about this crash if Apport
had not informed me--the Monitor Preferences utility appeared to work
correctly in every way. I don't know if the crash was from the first or
the second time I ran it, as the Apport window appeared perhaps 30-60
seconds after the second run.
My understanding from previous experiences (without crashes) is that for
Monitor Preferences to exit automatically after the resolution is
successfully changed (which is what seemed to me to have occurred here)
is its normal behavior, and is not considered a bug nor typically caused
by a crash.
