We need to do something, even if it's only a dumb panel applet.
Sending to jrb.
I'm really unhappy about the state of RandR in X. I kept confusing metacity/nautilus/panel when resizing it. Need to track down a bit better. I have Anders' dialog which basically works, but want confirmation that it's a good idea.
I guess I'd have to lean against putting anything in at this point, though I think we should have gotten something in.
After discussion, it seems that we all are in agreement that this is a feature that should be deferred for a future release, since RandR is an experimental XFree86 feature, and we can't really do much beta testing of such a utility at this stage. I guess we can consider this bug DEFERRED now, but I'll leave the status change up to your preference. In the mean time, if you'd like help testing RandR panel app or whatnot on different hardware, lemme know, and I'll install whatever you've got and fiddle, file reports, etc. ;o)
Rawhide has a nice RandR UI. even seems to work.
