I have a nice solution for this which lets you choose your resolution from the
WM menu.
Put this in your windowmaker menu (as a Program generated submenu):
("Set Resolution", OPEN_MENU, "|| /usr/bin/resolution.sh"),
Then put this script in /usr/bin, naming it resolution.sh
#!/bin/sh
#
# resolution.sh - Piter PUNK
#
# This script makes a menu with all possible resolutions, and you can
# change to that resolutions with one "click".
#
# After change the resolution of screen, you need to "Restart WindowMaker",
# to put all windows and menus inside the new screen size.

if [[ $(xrandr --version |grep 1.2) ]] ; then
xrandr -q | grep -v Screen | grep -v connected | awk '
BEGIN {
print "\"Resolution\" MENU"
}
{
print "\" "$1" " $2"\" EXEC xrandr -s " $1
}
END {
print "\"Resolution\" END"
}'
else
xrandr | tr "*" " " | awk '
BEGIN {
print "\"Resolution\" MENU"
}
/^.[0-9]/ {
print "\" "$2"x" $4"\" EXEC xrandr -s " $1
}
END {
print "\"Resolution\" END"
}'
fi
