Hi Andreas,

Clicking on the "Displays" icon in g-c-c drives to a sub-menu where I usually got infos on screens connected to my machines allowing to change screens' settings. Now, I got no screens' icons at all, just a message saying it is not posible to get screen info.

> Could you please quote the exact message you're seeing?

Exact message is: "Could not get screen information"

> Did you get any warning or error output when starting g-c-c from the command

No message. I also started g-c-c in verbose mode but got nothing relevant.

> Interesting. Both of them running testing/stretch I guess?

Yes, both run the same Debian version.

That's the problem of running in Strech.

Do you know which lib/sub-component g-c-c uses to get screens' info ?
It can help me to look if upgrading one or more packages from Sid solve the problem.
