Description James Westby 2008-04-24 22:14:07 UTC
Please see

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/215396

The xrandr code doesn't check for a NULL return from rw_screen_new,
and so falls over.

The message returned here could be tweaked, we reused one to not break
string freeze, but it appears Fedora doesn't use l10n here, so that
might not be a consideration for you.

Thanks,

James
