Do you actually use different resolutions on the same machine and
same display ?  With modern monitors I was under the impression that
native resolution was usually best, at least in X (yes, I sometimes
use other resolutions for consoles).  From my fairly-recent
experiments using X in a VM, I formed the impression that anything
less than 1024 wide is probably unusable : I was going to say
anything less than 1024x768 is probably unusable, but at the moment
I'm on a 1024x600 netbook - and yes, that is often problematic in
browsers because of the limited vertical size.  And unless you have
some high DPI monitor, more is generally better (even if you have to
change font sizes in preferences).

The modern way to change to a different supported resolution is to
use xrandr.
