Louis, you said that this bug is "very low on anyone's priority list"
but it affects me too and is a major nuisance.  At home, I always boot
up my laptop with the lid closed and an external monitor on.  GDM fails
to set the correct resolution, and the resolution is still wrong after I
log in: I have to run xrandr to correct it.   I believe that GDM (or the
X server?) is failing to realize that the lid is closed and that the
laptop display should be ignored (at least, that's the behavior I would
like).  Instead, GDM (or the X server) is choosing the highest
resolution common to both the laptop display and the external monitor
