Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Often people have connected two displays with their laptop where the
second, external one is not always connected and has another aspect
ratio than the internal. Starting up the xorg-server with both connect
it falls back to the highest resolution both have. For example using my
EeePC 901 with a 1024x768 external display connected it falls back to
800x600. Sure, this is a feature which shouldn't be changed in xorg-
server, but I would like to have the max resolution of each screehn, so
that my internal display uses 1024x600 and the external 1024x768. At the
moment I have to run a "xrandr --size 0" after login. The problem hereby
is, that this is not really userfriendly and my gnome-panel gets messed
up while the resolution is at 800x600.

My wish: 
 - Add a checkbox with the caption "Use max resolution of connected displays"
 - If this option was checked, directly after the gnome-session was started, 
the command "xrandr -s 0"(or an equivalent) should be issued, before any 
application in this sessionn is started
