ubuntu 10.10 monitor glitch after installation / initialization

[johndoe]

after installing ubuntu10.10 , installing parallels tools, upgrading all linux packages, resizing my monitor to max, and then saving that as my monitor default, i'm getting the following error:

i take it there's something in my system settings i need to update in order to recognize that my parallels monitor as one that can be resized, and can be saved as a different size so it comes back the same after reboot.

…*or, couldn't parallels tools be fixed to do this?

i see it didn't pick up the link to my twitpic, so i'll manage it internally.

the problem appears with this fleeting dialog:

i presume there's some xrandr setting i could establish or some other monitor setting value i could set that would rectify this.

thoughts?
