"I have activated the smallest resolution supported by my Monitor 720 x 400. The bug should be in the command "gnome-display-properties".

After activating this resolution, it was no longer possible to switch back to a higher resolution using the mouse, as the "Apply" button was outside the screen.

The question is whether we should show resolutions that are smaller than the size of the window itself.
Comment 2 William Jon McCann 2011-01-31 17:54:07 UTC 
We are currently targeting a minimum size of 675x530.  See, http://live.gnome.org/Design/SystemSettings.

I'm not sure if there is much we can do at 400px...

Let's add a warning and allow the users to shoot themselves in the foot.

    display: Hide unsupported sizes
    
    Sizes smaller than 675x530 aren't supported in the design, so
    avoid them, unless they're bigger than the current output size
    (so you could go up from them).
