Fwd: [Bug 1196239] Re: Cannot change display resolution

[Stephen Michael Kellat]

Just for the sake of team information, it looks like this is still out there as a gremlin that hasn't been resolved on the Mir/XMir side of things.  This won't impact us for 13.10 but is something to watch as we look ahead to 14.04 over the horizon.  To stay looped in on this and other interesting bugs, join the "Xubuntu Bugs" team on Launchpad which does only surveillance at the moment watching for when earth-shattering kabooms show up.

It will be interesting to see how things proceed as we wind down the Saucy Salamander cycle.  Virtual UDS is this week and Feature Freeze is coming too.
