Comment(by gale@…):

 Several months have passed. It is looking doubtful that upstream will
 backport  to support
 older X servers.

 Since we have little control over our X servers, I think unfortunately
 there is no choice
 but to downgrade gnome-desktop until every version of OSX that we support
 has an X server with XRandR 1.2. Or until upstream fixes this, if they
 ever do.

 Perhaps there is some other solution, using variants or something.
 It sounds tricky to me though.

 This has been blocking other ports for a long time. We need to take some
 action now to clear up the logjam.
