Selecting System Settings -> Displays with nvidia-current installed brings up Unknown "gnome-control-center display" window instead of prompting to launch nvidia-settings

[Sean Sosik-Hamor]

In Natty and previous, when nvidia-current was installed, selecting Displays would prompt to launch nvidia-settings instead of launching the incompatible "gnome-control-center display" that simply displays "Unknown".

Is this a bug or a feature? Shouldn't users be prompted to launch nvidia-settings?

Thank you for your bug report, that's not a bug but the standard Ubuntu screen configuration dialog, the fact that screen is display as "Unknown" is a bug though but different from the dialog used and might be a driver issue

I am no longer experiencing this bug now that I've upgraded Raring with either nvidia or nouveau drivers.
