So upstream has marked the bug as obsolete, since GNOME 3 has dropped gnome-appearance-properties. Do we want to apply the patch in Ubuntu? Or is Ubuntu also dropping gnome-appearance-properties with the move to unity? Either way, I'm sure Debian would be interested in this bug, since they have a strict "no missing man pages policy."

This has been around since Karmic and never SRU'ed, so since in Oneiric we don't have gnome-display-properties as a separate binary anymore, closing this bug
