For better or worse, X and GDM allow users to have custom screen
resolutions, which can be different to the one X initially adopts. We
could make changes in the UI to make resolutions global but that would
be a regression for many people.
Since this is fairly obvious X behaviour, the xsplash design should
accommodate it. We can fade out, change resolution and fade back in.
