The problem is "gnome-settings-daemon" is not running and would not start.

Found work-around:

start gconf-editor, then open / -> apps -> gnome_settings_daemon -> plugins -> xrandr in it and disable flag "active".

edit xorg.conf adding or setting Option "RandR" to "false" in Section "ServerFlags"

Now gnome-settings-daemon runs and no unpleasant resetting of screen resolutions.
