Who "pointed out the name of the binary.", am I missing something
because I didn't see it.

Anyway, things have advanced, removing a 'broken' package from my
installation and then doing a full update/upgrade has got my
Settings->Display applet to appear.  However it doesn't actually work,
i.e. it won't change the display resolution.

As you say though it's an Ubuntu problem rather than an xfce one so
I'll go over there to ask.  Thanks for the help so far.
