System Settings - Not obvious which settings in "Displays" panel are display-specific

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Another idea would be to move the options to the appearance settings. That's where I would have looked for it first.

In Appearance > Behaviour it would be in the same place as whether to hide the launcher, so all launcher config would be in the same place. On the other hand Displays is where the positioning of the displays is setup and there is the picture showing the layout, so in that case it is better there. Perhaps Appearance > Behaviour would be better in Displays.

Due to Bug #963976, I would lean towards moving Appearance > Behaviour to Displays (and potentially renaming Displays, although I can't think of a better name).

I admit that Appearance->Behaviour isn't the optimal place. On the other hand Displays is in the Hardware settings while the new options have more to do with Personal settings than with Hardware settings. What about separate launcher settings (including the existing launcher settings from the Appearance->Look and the Appearance->Behaviour Tab and the two new settings)? Or would that be exaggerated?

It may save time to fix bug 965076 and/or bug 965080 at the same time as this bug.

I have to apologize for my previous post. I didn't know that it is possible to select the monitor (by monitor name) in the Launcher placement. On my system I can only select "Unknown" or "All displays" (Nvidia driver). So sure it makes sense to have this setting in the Displays settings.

thanks for your bug, it's late in precise to do shuffling around about what controls are in what ui, setting the ubuntu gnome-control-center to incomplete waiting on ayatana design input

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.
