** Summary changed:

- gnome-appearance-properties asks for reboot if you cancel ATI driver install
+ gnome-appearance-properties asks for reboot if you cancel driver install

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
  
  gnome-appearance-properties can't tell if fglrx drivers were installed
  correctly or not, and asks you to reboot if they weren't installed.
  
  To reproduce:
  
- 1. Run gnome-appearance-properties on a system with an ATI card.
+ 1. Run gnome-appearance-properties on a system with an NVidia card.
  
  2. Select 'normal' effects.
  
- 3. jockey asks 'do you want to install the fglrx drivers'.
+ 3. jockey asks 'do you want to install the NVidia drivers'.
  
  4. Select cancel.
  
  5. gnome-appearance-properties says that you should reboot the computer
  and try again when the new drivers are available.
  
  Note that this *probably* also happens if you have Synaptic open and
  tell jockey to install the drivers (as reported in bug 202898). jockey
  will fail since another package manager is running, but gnome-
  appearance-properties still thinks the drivers were installed.
  
  Version: Ubuntu 8.04 beta,  gnome-control-center 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu3,
  jockey 0.3.3-0ubuntu1.
