Bug Description

Binary package hint: displayconfig-gtk

Currently we get this dialogue (attached) when updating settings.

We should be doing whatever we do that makes a notification area icon appear, like after installing a kernel upgrade, or installing or removing drivers via restricted-manager.

hello

i think so. but i think a restart notification would be to heavy for a liveCD application for example.
I think the best solution would be only to propose a xserver restart

cheers

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.

For more background on this change, please see this page: [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DisplayConfigGtk
