OK, I removed my custom xorg.conf and logged out. Unfortunately I can only get my usual resolution (1152x864) at 75Hz - the nVidia settings thing doesn't let me choose 85Hz (my preferred refresh rate) for this resolution. Windows XP thinks 85Hz is the top sync speed for this resolution on this monitor, but I've seen it driven as high as 120Hz. Looks like I can't quite ditch the custom xorg.conf yet. :-(
