Well gnome-settings-daemon simply calls RandR apis to toggle and position the
screens. It is possible that g-s-d merely abuses RandR and breaks it, which is
why I will hopefully have time this week to do as Bryce suggested and reproduce
the problem using only xrandr. I'm guessing this was assumed to be the driver
as others do not experience the same problem.

It does seem clear, though, that something is bugged in either RandR or the
driver when the usable desktop/screen size is clearly 3360x1050, yet it
continues to report 1680x1050, right?
