gnome-display-properties does not show or set scaling mode

[Rocko]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

gnome-display-properties allows me to change my screen's resolution, but not the scaling mode (which is reset to full aspect on every boot). It would be a nice feature if gnome-display-properties could read the current mode and change it (and store it as the default, like it can store the screen resolution).

The current mode can be got with:

xrandr --props

eg for my LVDS1, it says "scaling mode: Full aspect".

It can be set to one of Center, Full, or "Full Aspect" with (eg):

xrandr --output LVDS1 --set "scaling mode" Full

(note that the capitals are important - full doesn't work).
