Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
In gnome-display-properties, when you press 'Apply', you get a very nice
dialog with a 20-second timeout to test-run your new settings. Reverting
to old settings is default after time-out in case your screen has become
unreadable. So far so good, but the explanatory text and button text
always leave me confused. I have just choosen new settings that I want
to try, so I'd expect to be able to choose between options like 'Use New
Settings' or 'Keep Old Settings'. In stead, the dialog says 'Do you want
to keep these screen settings?' and offers a choice between 'Use
Previous Settings' and 'Keep Settings' (see attached screenshot). If
anything, please change 'Keep settings' into 'Keep New Settings', but
for me 'Keeping' refers to what I already have, and that are my old
settings, not the new ones. Is anyone with me on this?
I'm running a fresh install of Hardy, I have gnome-control-center
1:2.22.1-0ubuntu4.1 installed.
