 Since we lack our own UI for configuring monitors and video modes, it is
 tempting to use gnome-display-settings for the purpose.

 gnome-display-settings creates a settings file in ~/.config/monitors.xml
 and then invokes a few D-Bus methods to notify gnome-settings-daemon that
 it should update the screen configuration. This is easy to see with dbus-
 monitor.

 Perhaps we could implement the same protocol in Sugar. I don't know the
 details, but hopefully it's a freedesktop standard implemented by other
 desktops as well.
