.nvidia-settings-rc will not load if 'Include X Display Names in the Config File' is checked

[Volodymyr Dudenko]

Binary package hint: nvidia-settings

The summary says it. nvidia-settings can't load .nvidia-settings-rc at startup if the 'Include X Display Names in the Config File' is checked in the 'nvidia-settings Configuration' submenu.

The output is like this:

ERROR: Cannot open display 'Ubuntu:0.0'.

ERROR: Cannot open display 'Ubuntu:0.1'.

ERROR: Unable to assign attribute CursorShadow specified on line 21 of
       configuration file '/home/user/.nvidia-settings-rc' (no Display
       connection).

...and so on until the last line.

This results in default display settings at reboot. Unchecking the abovementioned option removes the 'Ubuntu:0.' before the display number, letting the settings file load successfully.
