Title:
  gnome-display-properties doesn't let me use external monitor's full
  resolution in mirror mode

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  My laptop has a 10.6 inch screen (1280*768). At home, I have a 22 inch
  external screen (1680*1050) attached to it. gnome-display-properties
  does not let me set things up so that the screens are mirrored, and
  the resolution is set to the maximum of the external screen. Instead,
  it wants to set things up as 1024*768.

  This worked in intrepid, until some weeks ago, when the same behavior
  started happening there, but I never reported the problem.

  If I run "xrandr --output VGA --mode 1680x1050" manually, I get the
  screens set up the way I want.
