AFAIK, if you are using a display manager for login, then X is not being
restarted for each user session - as such you can't actually use a
different resolution for each user, unless you use RANDR.
The KDE RANDR application allows you to set the resolution you chose
each time you log in. I'm not aware of a similar functionality in
GNOME.
