Bug Description

In Ubuntu 8.04 beta, if I go into System/Preferences/Screen Resolution and change the rotation to Left, my screen goes blank and there is no way to recover it. This setting is saved to ~/.gnome2/monitors.xml so will be applied every time I login!

I fixed by logging in with another user and issuing "gksu -wu <affected_user> gnome-display-properties" where <affected_user> is the username of the user this happened to.

gnome-control-center provides the broken utility. Also, gnome-session should also probably be fixed in the event ~/.gnome2/monitors.xml contains bad data like this, if possible.
