Bug#635055: /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties: Frequently reverts to 1024x768

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.30.1-3
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gnome-display-properties

Whenever I change my physical display configuration my display
configuration appears to be reset to 1024x768 with all monitors
mirrored.  This is very annoying.

- Ideally the system would remember the configuration I used the last
  time I used this physical configuration (my main configuration change
  is to flip between docking station and undocked).
- If I only have one display (my laptop screen) it seems unlikely that I
  would want to use anything other than the maximum resolution.
- It would be nice to at least specify that I don't want mirrored
  displays.
