Although I can just merge this into the branch myself, I'd like some feedback of what people think of this patch. I see it as a good workaround for the GUI resolutions tool crashing when a driver isn't supporting RR1.2.

Once the binary drivers do support RR1.2, they suddenly get the ability to use the normal tool without warning.

While I agree that it's a good idea, as users of proprietary drivers should really use the tools that we ship with the drivers (when available), I would also like to make sure that your patch doesn't conflict with my patches for the virtual resolution. Currently I'm working to adapt my patches to the changes in the latest version of the gnome-control-center in Jaunty and I'm available to work on your patch too so as to avoid (potential) conflicts.

All I'm asking is to wait some days before merging your patch. I think we can discuss this on IRC too.
