[wplug] consistent screen resolution

[Jonathan S. Billings]

The window manager doesn't define the screen resolution.  You can use 
the same XF86Config to run fluxbox as to run gnome.  You might be 
having some problem with the window manager that's causing this 
problem, like dumping core on startup.

Also, gnome's screen resolution widgit might just be better at 
identifying and choosing working numbers for the monitor and video card 
than slackware's.  Not a suprise.
