Title:
  gnome-display-properties crashed with SIGSEGV in output_overlaps()

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  Expired
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

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

  This was an automatic bug generation.

  Essentially when trying to run duel screens from the laptop with an
  external LCD it is possible to cause the system to go into an infinite
  loop trying to find a pair of resolutions that will work.

  There is a feature on the laptop (a key combination) which allows the
  user to switch moniors or have both displays mirror or have an
  extended desktop. It is this feature that there is difficulties with.
  The only way out of this is to force the machine to shutdown and
  restart.

  I suggest that maybe there needs to be a one known good screen which
  the loop can terminate to. ie. Have the single laptop screen as the
  one known good screen. That way gnome can try finding the correct
  resolution for say 30 sec or so then timeout to the main screen. That
  way the user can feel back in control. A dialog box could pop up
  saying unable to find next screen, and ask to continue searching or to
  terminate. That way the user feels in control of the desktop.
