Bug#378186: gnome-control-center: gnome-display-properties setting screen resolution crashes gnome-session

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.14.2-2
Severity: normal

gnome-session crashes when attempting to set screen resolution.
this happens either when trying to do it interactively, and also 
on user login, when the screen resolution is been set in:
~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen/`hostname`/0/%gconf.xml

in case it works for you, it could be a bug in the xserver-xorg driver :-(
(though i can switch resolutions with ctrl+alt+greyplus).
