Currently, selecting System Settings -> Displays on systems with
multiple monitors and the NVidia drivers produces an error dialog that
says "RANDR extension is not present" - as a result, at least one of my
users is unable even to access the sticky edge setting (they worked
around it via CCSM, but that's not a path to resolution that I'd want to
generally encourage).

Between this being NVidia specific and the addition of XRandR support to
304 drivers and later, I'm not filing a bug for that, but just as Chris
Schmidt suggested earlier, I first looked for the setting under
Appearance > Behavior.

I can understand the the reasoning for locating the options in one place
or another, but I do find it bothersome that an error related to the
display specifically should prevent access to other settings that aren't
actually dependent on a display-level feature.
