I am seeing the same problem with 7.10 on a Sony VAIO: the GNOME applet for changing resolution does not work. Interestingly, though, if I restart the system it comes back up with the screen resolution that I selected. So it's just a *very* delayed response. :-)

I disabled compiz via System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual Effects and selecting None. Now everything works perfectly: the GNOME applet changes the resolution, no reboot required.

My system has an Intel 855 video chipset. I switch back and forth between 1024x768 and 1280x1024.
