Probably; but it's still a nuisance, since there's no way to execute xrandr from gdm (for instance), so until I log in I cannot change the resolution. The only reasonable *default* IMHO is to use the lower resolution for both screens when using mirrored mode, since that's the only option that will made things look mirrored (or possible to use the resolution of the main screen). Having the configurable is fine by me (I guess some people might find it useful), but manually invoking xrandr isn't...
