Upstream patch

Description of problem:
The current display dialog is useless for users with more than one monitor if
they wish to use anything other than a cloned mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
-

Steps to Reproduce:
1. call xfce4-display-settings 
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Positions are not configurable.

Expected results:
User can modify positions of virtual screens.

Additional info:
A working patch can be found upstream.
https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7465

To tweak the spec file, use ./autogen.sh instead of %configure, otherwise the patch won't show any effect to the dialog because the glade file must be regenerated (see https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7465#c8 ).
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --enable-sound-settings --enable-pluggable-dialogs

Comment 1 Raphael Groner 2012-01-12 23:08:05 UTC
Forget about using autogen.sh in the spec file, it's sufficient to add --enable-maintainer-mode to %configure to regenerate the glade header file after applied the patch.

Comment 3 Kevin Fenzi 2012-01-21 19:39:59 UTC
ok. I have commited this to rawhide. I'd like to let it cook there for a bit and if it looks stable push out to stable releases. 

Thanks for the pointer to the patch!
