Hi!

Since upgraded to xfce4.12, from 4.10, I cannot start the display settings panel and I get the "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" error when I run in terminal "xfce4-display-settings".

I don't know if it's related but before upgrading to 4.12, since xrandr was introduced, I had issues with display-settings detecting my laptop screen resolution (full hd) and I had to manually add a profile that fits my normal resolution, otherwise I would have a resolution of 640x480px (this one is shown right now in my nVidia settings in "X Screen Information" section). Even after I had a working xrandr profile I couldn't see that specific resolution inside display-settings.

Some general info:
- asus laptop
- archlinux x86_64
- kernel 3.19.2-1
- bumblebee & xf86-video-driver (hybrid graphics)

What have I tried so far:
1. Create new user account - same issue. *The root account has the same problem.
2. Renaming ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/display.xml. Logout - Login. Problem persists.

Debug info:
1. "strace -o ~/trace.txt xfce4-display-settings". Output: http://filebin.ca/1vOGqtRiEnvS
2. gdb instructions from wiki. Output: http://pastebin.com/BVPnF3tA

[SOLVED]

xrandr issue after all.

Step 1: reset xrandr with "xrandr -s"
Step 2: add a new xrandr mode.
Step 3: use that xrandr mode.
Step 4: open display settings. Notice that it works and also the added xrandr mode is listed!

Probably the 4.12 upgrade couldn't detect the already added xrandr modes..
