seb128: Unfortunately refresh rate is important for two reasons:
1. Intel (and other?) drivers offer low refresh rate options (around
40Hz) for saving power on laptops. In older Ubuntu releases I had the
option of selecting this mode, but now in 12.04 I don't (despite the
driver still supporting it).
2. Surprisingly many users still use CRTs (as I have learnt from
triaging bugs). And many of them do so because they like having the
option of using 100-120Hz modes that LCDs cannot do. However they can't
easily use those modes if there is no control panel to enable them.
