Hey all, I'm not sure if I should be posting to this bug or some other tracking type bug, or even as a github issue at https://github.com/darkxst/displayconfig so here goes...correct me if I'm wrong.

I've been trying to get gnome-3.10 on Trusty using Jackson's packages for unity-settings-daemon and unity-control-center along with Tim's displayconfig pulled from his github repo.

Everything is almost there except for the following issues:

1. Clicking 'Apply' in unity-control-center's 'Screen Display' dialog after making a change does not present the confirmation dialog messagebox that states "Do you want to keep these display settings?" with the option to 'Revert', 'Confirm' or 'Cancel'.
As a consequence the timer for this messagebox silently ticks down in the background and the changed settings automatically revert to the previous setting.
Some source digging reveals this messagebox is part of gnome-shell in js/ui/windowManager.js :(

2. In some rare instances, constantly clicking the 'Apply' button does actually get the setting to finally stick without it timing out, but the setting is not saved between desktop sessions.

Let me know if I can do anything more to test, or even if this approach is still being developed as it's been a month since there was any action on this.

Cheers :)
