same problem here, using a clean install of 7.04 and nvidia ti4200 with nvidia-glx drivers from repos.
when i select "switch user", either with compiz or metacity (it makes no difference), gdm resolution is scaled down to 640x480.
if i log in with another account, i am not able to change it.

i modified xorg.conf this way:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Default Screen"
        Device "nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4200]"
        Monitor "SyncMaster"
        Defaultdepth 24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

but there was no difference.
