If you know that you're not going to go back to using the larger
resolutions, remove them from the same area where you worked with the
Virtual stuff. By removing the larger resolutions, you'll solve the
problem of the menubars being non-visible (and solve the Virtual problem
at the same time)!
Here's the explanation: XFree sees the larger resolutions mentioned in
that section and figures you want that much screen real estate. When
you switch resolutions, it figures you still want that real estate, you
just want a "window" into it. By telling it that you only want the
smaller resolution, it will get rid of the "window" behavior.
