Comment 48 for bug 1292398

Tried the approach of thw-th (comment #46) and it kind of works. This is an 8 year old Lenovo T500 laptop and I had to enter 6 seconds delay before it started to work. A downside is that my selected desktop background image is not set, or rather removed that way: it is set at some time first, then monitors flash, and flicker like many brokens settings are tried until finally presumably gnome-settings-daemon puts some order onto it, but with a completely black desktop. When using the settings UI to set the background, it looks like it should actually be set. :-(
