Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I'm running a fully update karmic koala installation inside a VirtualBox installation (Host: Ubuntu 9.04) and have the VirtualBox guest extensions installed. Everything works fine: Mouse integration just works, resizing the window changes the resolution of the guest X server.

There's only a tiny problem: When running gnome-display-properties inside the guest and resizing the VirtualBox window, gnome-display-properties crashes without any information.

I've started gnome-display-properties from a terminal hoping I'd get some more output and here it is:

$ gnome-display-properties

(gnome-display-properties:5613): Gtk-WARNING **: Ignoring the separator setting

(gnome-display-properties:5613): Gtk-WARNING **: No object called:
**
display-properties:ERROR:xrandr-capplet.c:684:rebuild_resolution_combo: code should not be reached
Aborted (core dumped)
$

gnome-control-center is installed in version 1:2.27.5-0ubuntu1
