1024x600 is the max (actual) but if you create an xorg.conf file, you
could set the 'virtual' display to pretty much any size you wish.

I don't use gnome so I am not knowledgeable about their toolsets but in
KDE, systemsettings works fairly well and kandrtray somewhat resets the
settings each login (save for the bottom panel which seems to open 640
pixels wide).
