I also agree that the default resolution at the login screen is ugly.
Low resolution mirroring is bad. Windows 7 is using only the external
screen at its highest resolution at the login screen.
Also the guest session in Ubuntu uses the same ugly low resolution
mirroring by default so the whole experience is ugly for my guests
unless I change the resolution manually for them each and every time.

Bug description:
When booting with an external monitor attached, the external monitor shows a
stretched-out display, which the laptop monitor shows two black bars on each
side of a lesser-resolution GDM display. This problem persists after logging in
and is illustrated by these pictures:

It's rather common to boot with the screen connected, so the use case
for this really is problematic as the Ubuntu splash doesn't look right
when a workstation is started like this. I happen to be in an
environment where everyone runs Windows and cosmetic details like this
really undermine confidence in Ubuntu.
This was also tested with a 11.10 nightly 3 weeks ago. I have to use
the monitors utility every-time the system is rebooted to adjust
resolutions.
