Upon further inspection, it appears that 800x600 is the lowest-common-denominator when it comes to the screen resolutions of both monitors (according to "Display Preferences").

Dell Inspiron Mini 9
1024x600 (16:9)
800x600 (4:3)
640x480 (4:3)
720x400 (9:5)
640x400 (16:10)
640x350 (9:5)

KDS 22" External Monitor
1680x1050 (16:10)
1280x1024 (5:4)
1440x900 (16:10)
1024x768 (4:3)
800x600 (4:3)
640x480 (4:3)
720x400 (9:5)

Is there anyway to force, when mirroring, both monitors to 1024x600 so the widescreen monitor is less stretched?

I assume this method of finding the lowest-common-denominator is how the software is intended to work, but it looks pretty bad have the resolution of 800x600 stretched on a 22" monitor.
