7.68. gnome-desktop
Updated gnome-desktop packages that fix a bug are now available.
The gnome-desktop package contains an internal library (libgnome-desktop) used to implement some portions of the GNOME desktop, and also some data files and other shared components of the GNOME user environment.
Bug Fix
- BZ#829891
- Previously, when a user hit the system's hot-key (most commonly Fn+F7) to change display configurations, the system could potentially switch to an invalid mode, which would fail to display. With this update, gnome-desktop now selects valid XRandR modes and correctly switching displays with the hot-key works as expected.
All users of gnome-desktop are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
