Since you deleted $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc and you state a different user account on the same system sets the correct resolution, the resolution has probably been set using the GNOME screen resolution applet. Try setting it to the desired resolution with the applet (right mouse button on the desktop, Screen Resolution ...) and logout/login to see if the proper resolution is restored.
As a sanity check, before the user logs in, is the dtlogin screen at the proper resolution?
