Chris Wilson (notgary) has assigned this bug to you for gnome-control-center in ubuntu:

This is a feature request for gnome-display-properties to make the
monitor identification optional and off by default. If you are unsure
what the monitor identification is, I have attached a picture to
explain. It may have another name but this is what I know it as.

The rationale behind this request is basic usability. Many times, people
will only use the display preferences to set up an external monitor or
projector for a short period of time. By not closing gnome-display-
properties, the monitor identification is there constantly, and on top
of every other window/menu (but below the cursor). I have seen too many
presentations, with the monitor/projector was identified, to go on
without reporting a feature request.

Looking at how other OSs do this, there is an Identify or Identify
Monitors button which then displays the monitor number. Perhaps we
should have a checkbox that turns on and off the monitor identification
option.
