The core issue here is that nVidia doesn't support Xrandr, which is what gnome-display-settings requires for doing what it does. nVidia's Xrandr support is fairly limited (just rotation iirc), so until that's improved you'll need to use either nvidia's own configuration tools or edit xorg.conf directly.
