KDE on Kubuntu may offer a clue. 
`xrandr` output is:

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right)
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 287mm x 180mm
   1280x800       60.0*+   60.0
   1280x768       60.0
   1024x768       60.0
   800x600        60.3
   640x480        59.9
TMDS-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right)
TV connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm
   1024x768       30.0*
   800x600        30.0
   848x480        30.0
   640x480        30.0

But KDE's System_Settings->Monitor&Display GUI offers a choice of sizes 
640x480, 848x480, 800x600, or 1024x768.
So KDE is seeing the sizes for TV output, not for the laptop screen (LVDS).

Tried using xrandr to disable the TV output, without success.  Anyone know how 
the TV-output-specific info is getting into
Gnome/KDE?
