Yes personal preferences were set to 1680 x 1050.  I guess I confused
myself because the icons etc. appeared bigger and cleaner than I
expected.  However, I have lost my trash icon.  gConfig-editor =>
Nautilus doesn't restore it. -- ??  That's a minor problem for tomorrow.

But it still begs the question; why doesn't xorg.conf reflect the
addition of my new LCD display?
