I am trying to set a different resolution via SYSTEMS SETTINGS and DISPLAY. It allows me to change those settings and then prompts me to log out and restart X but it comes back just like before.
Any ideas?

You have to restart X, because it has to reload the XF86Config file. As the information in memory does not get updated on the fly. (Other than using another package which will do it, but I have not come across any so far.)

Restarting X only changes the log-in (graphical log-in) resolution. It doesn't seem to change X-windows (Gnome).

Oddly enough, changing that setting DOES change the log-in screen resolution but it does NOT change X windows.

That is odd ... I didn't notice that since I boot into INIT 3, and not into the GUI. And I usually do the changes manually.
