And here is the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file after logging out and killing X (control-alt-delete). Suddenly 1024x768 resolution was working, yet the refresh rate was 50, not the 60 I usually see. This is an LCD monitor, though, so refresh rate doesn't really mean much, I think.

This time metacity wasn't working. I had to do "metacity" in a terminal.

So, in two attempts, I had one time a bad resolution with metacity, and once a good resolution without metacity. Two different symptoms, and their behavior seems quite erratic.
