cannot setup dualhead: method "ApplyConfiguration" doesn't exist

[to be removed]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I have an ATI card with two DVI outputs and would like to have them set up so that they do not mirror each other, but are side by side. I can do this with xrandr(1), but not with gnome-display-properties. If I arrange things the right way in the GUI and click on Apply, I get this:

Method "ApplyConfiguration" with signature "" on interface "org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR" doesn't exist

(Also, my dualhead configuration from jaunty was missing after I upgraded.)

I also have this bug with a Samsung NC10 on an ubuntu 9.04 Netbook remix.
I occurs when I want my netbook to run in 1024x600 instead of 800x600.
