- The menuitem is called "Screen Resolution", but the capplet window has the title "Monitor Resolution Settings". The monitor label popup covers the panel. It would be nicer if it respected the workarea. The font color in the popup doesn't match the font color used in the graphical representation in the capplet. The stretched out Detect button looks a bit odd. The Help button does nothing.

The relevant bit of code has a comment: /* Should we center this at the top edge of the monitor, instead of using the upper-left corner? */ which seems maybe nicer-looking without weirdness. Try installing http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=899000 and then compare > gnome-display-properties > LABEL_POSITION=workspace gnome-display-properties > LABEL_POSITION=centered gnome-display-properties what do you think?
Not a big deal What would probably even nicer would be some compositor niceness to make it apopear less like a window thats tacked on top of everything, and more like a watermark or something like that. How about simply not showing that thing at all if there is only one monitor, btw.
Hmm, I've tried that build, and restarted gsd, but I still get the popup in the upper left... More details: - Borders seem excessive when compared with e.g. the appearance capplet - Positioning of the combo boxes changes slightly the first time I click on the (single monitor representation in the blue 'play area'. - It looks slightly odd to me to have the "Mirror Screens" checkbox above and all the other controls below. Should they all be below ?
you don't have to restart gsd, the window is created by gnome-display-properties directly, so you just need to launch it with the env var set to the right thing
Oh, I hadn't picked up that there was an env var.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
