FYI, the following workaround allowed me to keep using 1280x1024. I've added 
the following lines to /etc/gdm/Init/Default :
xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00"  108.00  1280 1328 1440 1688  1024 1025 1028 
1066 +hsync +vsync 
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1280x1024_60.00

Now, I can select the preferred mode with gnome-display-properties and it is 
kept across session restarts.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
