Title:
  Cannot make external HDMI monitor the default monitor

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  I have a System76 Lemur Ultra Thin laptop with an external HDMI monitor connection. I'm able to plug in my HP Compaq LA2405wg monitor via a DVI to HDMI converter and, using gnome-display-properties. 
   
  I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.04.

  I used to be able to turn off the Laptop screen and the HP screen
  would become the default. When I do that now both screens go blank (I
  have the power manager set to blank the screen when the lids closed
  but the system is on AC power.

  When I click on the HP screen in the GUI and click Make Default I get
  a pop up that says:

  Authentication is required to install multi-monitor settings for all
  users. etc...

  The details say:
  polkit.subject-pid:   1804
  polkit.caller-pid:       2396
  Action: org.gnome.randr.install-system-wide
  Vendor: GNOME Monitor Preferences

  I authenticate and it says that those will be the defaults when the
  next user logs in.

  I log out and log back in and the laptop screen is still the default.
