add 3d info to gnome-display-properties

[marco.pallotta]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I think gnome-display-properties should display 3d info (that is if it's enabled or not) and not force the user to go to command line and launch
glxinfo |grep direct

(tested with Hardy)

Thank you for your bug report but that information is not revelant to users and the capplet is not a place to display xorg logs, you can use the system log tool to do that for example

Well Sebastien, I don't think that system log is directed to "everyone".
Obviously I also think 3d info is nowadays a useful info for a typical user; let's think at a user that has problems to play a 3d game and want to discover if, at least, 3d of his graphics card is enabled or not: in Windows or Mac is a simple work to do and I don't understand why it's not possible to do the same job in Ubuntu (under SUSE, at least until the version 10, this info was in the display properties of yast).

You could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME), Ubuntu is not writting the code and not going to change that in an ubuntu specific way
