I was privately told this is NOT a gnome question, but an xorg.conf item.

Well, it is clear from System>Administration>Display that I have set the 
Monitor type to LCD panel 1024x768. Yet there is nothing in my 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf showing this. Thus this information is held in some 
other file that this gnome applet is maintaining. What is that file?
