I wonder why this bug was not yet reported, as suggested above, at bugzilla.gnome.org.
I've just done this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658335

Title:
  Add "Mirror with max resolution checkbox+functionality" to gnome-
  display-properties

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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

  Often people have connected two displays with their laptop where the
  second, external one is not always connected and has another aspect
  ratio than the internal. Starting up the xorg-server with both connect
  it falls back to the highest resolution both have. For example using
  my EeePC 901 with a 1024x768 external display connected it falls back
  to 800x600. Sure, this is a feature which shouldn't be changed in
  xorg-server, but I would like to have the max resolution of each
  screehn, so that my internal display uses 1024x600 and the external
  1024x768. At the moment I have to run a "xrandr --size 0" after login.
  The problem hereby is, that this is not really userfriendly and my
  gnome-panel gets messed up while the resolution is at 800x600.

  My wish: 
   - Add a checkbox with the caption "Use max resolution of connected displays"
   - If this option was checked, directly after the gnome-session was started, the command "xrandr -s 0"(or an equivalent) should be issued, before any application in this sessionn is started
