[Bug 1228765] [NEW] Need to implement DisplayConfig dbus interface within Unity

 

Public bug reported:

For GNOME 3.10, all the display configuration/xrandr code has been moved
into Mutter as dbus interface. The Main reason for this move was to
abstract away the display server (x11/wayland).

This affects gnome-desktop3 and gnome-settings-daemon. In particular the
changes in gnome-desktop would create a gigantic mess if we tried to
revert these changes for Unity only. As such it seems the cleanest
solution would be to copy the display config interface from Mutter into
Unity. The code itself is fairly self contained, so apart from the
resulting duplication of code, it shouldnt really be much of an issue.
