Tried solving this through the method used above with limited success. New 
xorg.conf attached. 
- I can now get the resolution 1280x1024 working okay, although its wrong for 
the monitor so some text appears a little fuzzy.
- But 1440x900 and 1280x800 are not offered in the screen resolution dialogue. 
This seems weird because they are clearly and, as far as I can tell, correctly 
specified in the xorg.conf. The new file is identical to the one which 
previously worked for identical hardware running 8.04.
- The GDM login screen appears to be working at the correct resolution, i.e. 
1440x900.

Plus, an interesting oddity: when I changed the resolution at one point
the theme immediately changed. Title bars became blue and differently
shaped and the icon set changed to the one where the logout button is a
green man symbol. I closed the screen resolution dialogue and that theme
stayed, but changed it back to the default when I opened the dialogue
once more, even though I didn't change anything this time. Something's
clearly up.

Would be happy to test a development version if something's been changed
- please point me in the right direction.
