Bug Description

I'll changed from 1920x1080 to 900x600. I cancel and found (after 'cleaning' the black with a window) Server settings not running anymore. When I redid the same procedure I again got a crash, now with this message:

Your current changes to the X server display configuration may no longer be applied due to changes made to the running X server.

You may either reload the current X server settings and lose any configuration setup in this page, or select "Cancel" and save your changes to the X configuration file (requires restarting X to take effect.)

If you select "Cancel", you will only be allowed to apply settings once you have reset the configuration.
