gnome-display-properties crashes for me too. If I ran it via Terminal, I get the following error message:

kaarel@kaarel-desktop:~$ gnome-display-properties
The program 'gnome-display-properties' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.
(Details: serial 96 error_code 1 request_code 151 minor_code 6)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
