I have two systems with the Nvidia 185 driver installed, and both have this problem of settings disappearing, when done with the supplied Nvidia display configuration tool. The problem is nothing new - I remember having it in a couple of previous Ubuntu versions.
The settings indeed stay when I use the regular display configuration tool. That isn't free of problems either, though. The available refresh rates aren't normal: 64, 63, 62, 61, 60 and 59 Hz. Those aren't real, however. When I choose the smallest one, I actually get 90 Hz (which is good for my CRT monitor). The largest, 64 Hz actually gives 65 Hz. Many users probably will try the largest number (if they aren't already scared away when they see the strange numbers) and then give up. But I think I'll make a separate bug report of this issue.
