Comment 30 for bug 640807

Bumping to high, since this breaks a lot of people's monitor settings. The upstream change was introduced after feature freeze, so it appeared quite late.

Seb and I discussed this in #ubuntu-desktop. We will add a gconf key to enable the automatic xrandr configuration (if there are no configuration files), and set that to false in Ubuntu. That patch will be acceptable for upstream, and it's a very safe solution, in the sense that it is easy to test, relatively unintrusive, and will change back behaviour to what we had in all earlier releases and Maverick Beta. With my release team hat on, I think this is safe enough to push into maverick final still; this affects the live system, so an SRU would be a lot less useful.
