Title:
  subpixel smoothing in wrong order after screen rotation

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

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

  When you have subpixel smoothing enabled and rotate the screeen over
  System -> Preferences -> Display, the subpixel order is in the wrong
  direction and the fonts look bad. You have to change the order
  manually in System -> Preferences -> Appearance. This should be done
  automatically.

  I already posted this on brainstorm:
  http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/21954

  I implemented this in my rotation scripts like this:

  xrandr -o inverted
  gconftool-2 --type string --set /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/rgba_order "bgr"

  this can be done for all the other rotations with rgb, bgr, vrgb,
  vbgr.
