Bug Description

If there's no xorg.conf file, or the file is empty, the tool shows nothing, so there's no way to configure the server through the UI.
A new configuration should be created (as Xorg -configure does) and the user should be warned about this.

What does "shows nothing" mean? There was a bug fix related to saving a not yet exisiting xorg.conf lately. Please update your system.

The default behavior is to create a new one. I don't see the need to show a warning.

works fine here (Gutsy, with all updates, displayconfig 0.3.7) - deleted xorg.conf, and was able to recreate it using displayconfig-gtk.
Before updates i had previously seen problems with this.
