gnome-display-properties gives me only 10 seconds to confirm changes

[Marius Gedminas]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

The 10 seconds that GNOME Display Properties give me to confirm configuration changes are barely enough for Compiz to reposition and redraw all the windows, when I toggle between single-head and dual-head modes. After that I have to (1) find the configuration dialog with my eyes, (2) get my mouse in the right place and (3) click on the right button. I have good reflexes and usually manage to do this with 1 or 2 seconds to spare, but I wouldn't like to see my mother try this.

Please increase the countdown to 30 seconds.

I confirm that gnome-settings-daemon version 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 does in fact increase the timeout from 10 seconds to 30 seconds.
