I've got similar problem on my laptop Compaq nx6110 with Intel 915 graphics controller.
I have connected two monitors: LVDS: 1024x768 VGA: 1280x1024
I need to have switched on only external VGA monitor but after computer restart I always have both on with resolution 1024x768.
When I open "Screen and orientation" settings VGA automatically back to correct 1280x1024 resolution but I have to manually switch off LVDS screen.
I use Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE 4.2.1
