Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Can I suggest that the display labels are hidden when the Monitors window is not focused? This would help business people when they give presentations, as they would have to remember to go back and close this window after they've got the projector working, and it would still be around once they'd finished their slideshow so they could make sure their laptop display is still how they like it.

As someone who gives presentations very regularly, I can confirm this is a major annoyance and somewhat impedes the 'smoothness' of the start of the presentation.

+1 on Michael's suggestion.

I've pushed a workaround for this bug, but it looks like it also exists in anything that uses GtkMessageDialog or GtkAboutDialog, so I'm not sure whether or not this is the intended behavior. My guess would be that it's not, since you can't do this in the file overwrite dialog in nautilus, but you can in the 'Slashes not allowed in filename' dialog. At the very least, it's inconsistent.
