Description Roman Yepishev 2010-03-28 21:44:14 UTC 
This bug was originally reported at

When an additional monitor is attached after a login, the applet does only show the currently configured monitor. A click on display settings in the applet reveals also the new monitor but at the same time opens the dialog.

The applet should be able to get notified of the event or it should rescan the available monitors when it gets clicked.

Reproducible with gnome-control-center 1:2.29.92-0ubuntu3. The indicator applet does not list attached monitor even after running xrandr/opening display properties dialog.

The applet is gone from GNOME 3 (it was in gnome-settings-daemon in the first place, not in the control-center).

See bug 634332 for plans about adding something similar to gnome-shell.
