If I am not absolutely mistaken, gnome-control-center needs the gnome-settings-daemon (or similar) to function. But there are several other options to change this: 1) Change the default, i.e. when you log into ubuntu, chage the settings for the screen and make sure you tick the "default" box - this wil ask you for your password and set the default settings for the display, i.e. when you log in under awesome, they should be there (worked under fluxbox) 2) use xrandr to change the setting. xrandr is commandline, but there is also arandr, a simple GUI for xrandr.
