[Mark Poks]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.22.2.1-2
Severity: important
File: /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties

when i change my rotation settings in gnome-display-properties these are lost
after restart. i would like to have my system starting everytime with 'pivot'
mode and i can't- i have to switch it manually.
