Bug#836972: gnome-control-center could not get screen information anymore

[Jean-Marc]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.21.90-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Since the last today's update, gnome-control-center could not get screen information anymore.

That's the only message you got when you start it and choose "Displays" option.

I started it from the commandline, from the gnome menu and from a rigth-click and the situation is the same.

I also checked on my second computer. It worked before the upgrade and did not after upgrading to version 3.21.

Regards,

Jean-Marc
