This might be a gnome problem, but….

I’ve noticed that, on occasion (frequently), when I try to look at or modify my display configuration, the Applications->System Settings->Display doesn’t come up. It asks for the root password, which I give it, and then nothing.

I ran system-config-display form the command line, but it dies thus:

 snip <

I seem to be missing an argument from the call, but I’m not sure what goes there, and even so, when I run it from the menu, shouldn’t it have the right data and run?

You should probably try 'system-config-display --reconfig'. It may be that your current xorg.conf has something not parse-able in it, the --reconfig switch starts from scratch. Worth a try, anyway. Remember, paranoia is a good thing, make a copy of your xorg.conf first!

BTW, this just works with X11's configuration file, it doesn't have any dependency on Gnome or KDE.
