I don't think that Canonical is the right addressee. If I understand it 
correctly, the monitor selection option was part of Xorg. Now that Xorg 
is supposed to detect the available resolutions automatically, there is 
no more need to have a manual selection. Yes, I know it doesn't work for 
all monitors and thats the reason for your petition, but the point is 
that IMHO you'd better pester Xorg than Canonical.
