Saying that this is a "harder than you might think" problem to fix is
a cop out. How hard is it to add a manual configuration tab to the
screen resolution app so you can tell X Windows to use "X" type
monitor settings when its auto-configuration method gets it wrong.
No, this not only needs to be fixed it "must" be fixed. The feature
should never have been removed in the first place it was a bad call to
do so.

Let me put it this way, this missing feature is "hindering" the
adoption of Ubuntu by new users, period. Fixing this should be
high-priority, no excuses. The only acceptable outcome is to fix this
before the next release of Ubuntu, not doing so is a failure of the
development community to listen to the needs of the user base.
