Looks like "~/.gnome2/monitors.xml" has the settings.  At least it holds
a configuration that I've changed, and the defaults go back if I delete
it.  Here's a copy of what was created:

[guest at suspishus .gnome2]$ cat monitors.xml 
<configuration>
    <clone>no</clone>
    <output name="default">
        <vendor>???</vendor>
        <product>0x0000</product>
        <serial>0x00000000</serial>
        <width>400</width>
        <height>300</height>
        <rate>57</rate>
        <x>0</x>
        <y>0</y>
        <rotation>normal</rotation>
        <reflect_x>no</reflect_x>
        <reflect_y>no</reflect_y>
    </output>
</configuration>

Rate is the vertical refresh rate.
