Hi,

Thanks for the report, I noticed this as well.

Bryce, is there any help that we can show here?
If not we should either write some or remove the
button.

Thanks,

James

  * Handle the case when the screen info can't be retrieved from
    XRandR. If this happens there is little we can do except inform
    the user and close. It may indicate a bug in the driver, or in
    this case Xgl, as it reports that it is XRandR 1.2 capable, but
    it fails to provide the necessary information. (LP: #215396)
    This is debian/patches/114_cc-randr12-handle_rw_screen_new_failure.patch
  * Handle the case where clone mode is detected, but no screens
    are reported as connected. This would cause uninitalised memory
    to be used. (LP: #216676)
    This is debian/patches/115_cc-randr12-fix-rebuild-gui.patch
  * Handle failure to get a new screen configuration when the screen has
    changed. (LP: #215396)
    This is
    debian/patches/116_cc-randr12-handle-screen-NULL-in-on_screen_changed.patch
  * Remove the "Help" button from the display capplet, as it is not
    functional currently, and there is no help to provide at the moment.
    (LP: #210383)
    This is debian/patches/117_cc-randr12-disable-help-button.patch
  * Rename debian/patches/01_debian_ubuntu.patch to
    debian/patches/01_remove_debian_default_applications.patch and change
    it to remove the entries, rather than changing the names.
  * Make the firefox entry in default applications use the firefox-3.0 icon.
