Bug#746252: gnome-control-center: Same here: displays gui: can not select any monitor

[Richard Scherping]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.8.3-7
Followup-For: Bug #746252

Dear Maintainer,

since quite a long time, I am not able to use the displays GUI on my Debian
system with Gnome 3.x - the bug was present in Wheezy and now still is in
Jessie/Sid.

Step to reproduce: Open the displays GUI on my system with multiple monitors.
Cannot select any monitor. The one I started gnome-control-center from is
selected.

I tried deleteing .config/monitors.xml - no change.

Please try to fix this annoying bug, which forces me to use xrandr console to
configure my monitors.

Richard
