Bug Description
I have a dual monitor setup (notebook @1280x800 and external TFT @1680x1050). Without configuring anything they are in some kind of cloning mode: The internal screen shows a part of the external screen. When I go to System -> Screen Resolution, both screens are detected. I move the screens (internal left of external) and click apply.
What I expected:
The screens change according to my changes.
What happened:
The "Keep Settings" dialogue pops up, but the screens do not change.

"Me too" etc.
I have an ATI Radeon X300 with DVI + VGA outputs. I have a 1280x1024 'main' panel on DVI, and I want to use a 1024x768 15" screen as extra space, but I am forced to use the hybrid detailed above. No amount of clicking / dragging on the gnome-display- properties / Detect Displays options gives a working solution
gnome-display- properties correctly shows the two screens as DELL 19" and DELL 15", and offers only appropriate resolutions for each, which is good.
My xorg.conf is 'empty' save for the Section headers / descriptions - I am using the Free ati driver, not fglrx.
