Bug Description

Could be related to the fact that during the upgrade from gutsy to hardy, language-pack-en language-pack-gnome-en etc had been uninstalled. Re-installing now and will test

Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make Ubuntu better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy we are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary configuration tool, and are putting our development focus into the Screen Resolution applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this bug and thus are closing it.

For more background on this change, please see this page: [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/DisplayConfigGtk
