Need to configure display for all users

Bug Description

I have three user accounts on running on the Gutsy beta. My account has rights to administer the system and the other two accounts do not. After updating to the beta, the display resolutions for all users and gdm was reset to 1400x1050. The resolution was 1024x768. I used the new display-config tool to reset the resolution, but the change only affected my account. I had to enable rights to administer the system on each account and had to use display-config within each account to alter that accounts display resolution from 1400x1050 to 1024x768. I have not found a way to change the display resolution for gdm.

Did you really use displayconfig-gtk? How does your xorg.conf look like?

Yes, I used displayconfig-gtk. This is my xorg.conf file. I used
displayconfig-gtk to change the resolution to 1024x768 in each account.
