Got this when hooking up multiple monitors.

How I got here see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=902732#c26

The problem occured when I wanted to rotate left by 90 degree my monitor.

Oops, the kernel was 3.7.7-201.fc18.x86_64, the previous one was a custom kernel.
Maybe abrt ignored the second coredump.

I inserted a Geforce 8400 card 16xPCIe card inyo my desktop, and rotated the (now left side) 19" 3/4 monitoe by 90 degree left. While configuring mate for this, the crash appened. (Fortunately the image left rotated, but will remain so after a reboot?)

mate-control-center-1.5.4-1.fc18 doesn't fix the crash problems for me!

.. more specifically it's mate-display-properties that crashes with sigsegv. It seems mate-control-center-1.5.4-1.fc18 doesn't properly fix the issue.

Still crashing for me with latest update: mate-control-center-1.5.5-2.fc18

Still crashing for me with mate-control-center-1.5.5-3.fc18, so reopening.
From the stack trace it looks like it crashes inside libgdk-x11-2, which would make it a gtk2 bug, but I'll let Dan do the reassignment if applicable.

Looking into it.

mate-display-properties is still crashing a lot for me! Very often when I try to change the monitor configuration it just segfaults..

I am also getting this consistently.  When I dock my laptop and start mate-display-properties, it correctly sets the externally attached monitor and then crashes.

Upstream bug was filed look for a MATE 1.6 push here I'm the next week.

Note that it's still crashing on Fedora 19.

$ rpm -q mate-control-center gtk2
mate-control-center-1.6.0-1.fc19.x86_64
gtk2-2.24.18-1.fc19.x86_64

This is a glib problem.

Shouldn't you reassign this bug to gtk2 component, then?

Currently I have the same problem I have a Laptop with 2 monitors, but still nothing really happens. I assign the new values to my monitor and everything still works. So I think this is very trivial.

reported in closed bug on bugzilla (automatic) Mate 1.6.1

The crash (mate-display-properties SIGSEGV) still happens on fc18 with:

$ rpm -q mate-control-center gtk2
mate-control-center-1.6.0-2.fc18.x86_64
gtk2-2.24.19-1.fc18.x86_64
gtk2-2.24.19-1.fc18.i686

dmesg has the following entries about the mate-display-properties crashes:

I changed my screenshot, then I restored it to previous resolution and it crashed

mate-display-properties still segfaults in Fedora 19 with mate-control-center-1.6.1-2.fc19.x86_64

1 - I have problem with display since i installed fedora on Acer Iconia "dual screen laptop"
2 - I tried fedora 14, 17 and 19.
3 - Backlight of secondary screen is never on.
4 - There is a swtich to restart system, most of times pressing that switch turns on the backlight of secondary screen, otherwise i have to restsrt system.
5  - Sometimes system uses secondary screen as primary screen and one can not see anything but two blank screen, as secondary screen backlight is not turned on.
6 - pressing the restart switch before logging in to account, it restarts the system, problem 5 becomes bigger.
