  Clicking "Save To X Configuration File" causes immediate crash of
  nvidia-settings, after running sudo nvidia-settings to set up dual
  monitors using TwinView.
  
  Not sure if this is due to permissions related to the new X config
  scheme (i.e. no longer using xorg.conf for display config)?  I am also
  confused as to why the repo driver is 177.80, but the repo nvidia-
  settings is 177.78?
