Thanks for your bug report! Does this problem still occur with the current version of displayconfig-gtk?

If yes, please run «gksudo displayconfig-gtk > ~/output.displayconfig-gtk.log 2>&1» in a terminal and upload the file «output.displayconfig-gtk.log» that will be created on your home directory here.

Do you have this problem with Gutsy or Hardy? And how many screens do you have?

I solved this problem by reinstalling Ubuntu from the new Daily-Live - CD. It works fine now (at least for me). ^^

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make Ubuntu better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy we are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary configuration tool, and are putting our development focus into the Screen Resolution applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this bug and thus are closing it.
