Binary package hint: plymouth

When plymouth is installed and running on my computer (with a NVIDIA GTX
260) the Ubuntu splash displays properly but my displays always start at
1440x900 - not the 1680x1050 intended, even if I forcefully specify it
in xorg.conf. Running:

sudo apt-get purge ^plymouth-theme-.*\$

to remove all plymouth themes, hence leaving the computer with no splash
to run, fixes the problem, so I think that is the cause.
