I tried doing that. Running svn update from the src dir did nothing. I
then tried

svn update http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk openchrome from /root
(openchrome is in /root/openchrome).

Skipped 'http://svn.openchrome.org/svn/trunk'

then 'make', and we have for the changed sources:

After installing that and rebooting, the login screen appears in
1600x1200, so there was something wrong about the updates. Also, when I
log in, Gnome appears - without a top panel - in 1600x1200. I don't know
if there is a bottom panel, since it's off screen, and without a top
panel, I can't change the res except by reinstalling xorg.conf and
logging out and in again. In the login screen, I can't select safe mode
because that's off-screen.

It seems to me that the login mod selections used to be in the login
dialog, instead of being at the bottom of the whole screen - also one
could drag the login dialog around. All that's changed in the last 2 or
3 releases of Ubuntu.
