Hi Vincent,<br>I'm working on closing bugs for Debian/GNOME bug weekend.<br><br>You reported bug #555665 back in November 2009. <br><br>It appears that you were advised to disable the xrandr plugin in gnome-settings-daemon, if you're going to configure dual-screen at the command line.<br>
<br>Do you consider this bug to be resolved? Should this bug be closed?<br><br>Thanks in advance,<br>Mark Johnson<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>From: <b class="gmail_sendername">Debian Bug Tracking System</b> <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:owner@bugs.debian.org">owner@bugs.debian.org</a>></span><br>

Subject: When opening the window: "Appearance Preferences", font size of<br>
the desktop are changed, without asking.<br>
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:20:08 +0100<br>
Package: gnome-control-center<br>
Version: 1:2.22.2.1-2<br>
<br>
When I open the window: "Appearance Preferences" from Gnome, by clicking<br>
"System" -> "Preferences" -> "Appearance", size of all fonts<br>
(applications, desktop, ...) is automatically changed.<br>
The font size is increased while I did not ask.<br>
<br>
I am using Debian 5.0.3 (Lenny).This version is installed since November<br>
6, 2009.<br>

Is gnome-settings-daemon started prior to this operation?<br>
<br>
If you start gnome-settings-daemon by hand, does the same thing happen?<br>

<br>
I analyzed more precisely this bug.<br>
<br>
It is linked to activation of the dual screen of Xorg.<br>
To activate dual screen I use "xrandr" with the following command :<br>
xrandr --output VGA2 --right-of DVI0<br>
<br>
When I open the window "Appearance Preferences" without having activated<br>
the dual screen, the bug does not occur.<br>
<br>
The bug only happens when I open the window "Appearance Preferences"<br>
after activating the dual screen.<br>
<br>
However, if I enable the dual screen, then I kill<br>
"gnome-settings-daemon", then the system restarts<br>
"gnome-settings-daemon" automatically. I can then access to the window<br>
"Appearance Preferences" without bug.<br>
<br>
For information I use the Xorg package version 1.7.3 20 and libxrandr2<br>
version 2:1.2.3-1 (I use Lenny).<br>

Why not use gnome-display-properties instead?<br>

Well, configure the dual screen using the GNOME preferences and maybe it<br>
will work.<br>
<br>
If you want to do things by hand, you need to disable the xrandr plugin<br>
in gnome-settings-daemon.<br>
<br>

I can not use this program, because the version of<br>
gnome-display-properties of Lenny does not allow to configure 2 screens<br>
with differents displays and resolutions.<br>
