XRandR applet crashes on restart

[Martin Wimpress ]

[Impact]

 * The MATE display applet for XRandR crashes on restart.

[Test Case]

  * Install Ubuntu MATE 17.10 Beta 2, open the Displays control center and check "Show monitors in panel".
  * Log out and log in. The Display applet will crash and disappear from the notification area.
  * Install mate-settings-daemon 1.18.1-2ubuntu0 and repeat the steps above.

[Regression Potential]

 * It is possible some keybinding might not function correctly after applying this patch , although no issues were encounter during testing.

When verifying bugfixes, please do not just slap the verification-done* tag without any comments. For most cases we will not treat the bug as verified in this case as there is no mention what tests have been performed and on which package versions.

[Vlad Orlov (monsta)]

- enabled artful-proposed repo

  to 1.18.1-2ubuntu1 from artful-proposed
