It could be a stale setting in Gnome? > You said previously gdm (which runs as root) comes up with 1024x768 but after login X would switch to 1600x1200 (running as the user).
Two places that can cause this behavior: 1 $HOME/.gconf/desktop/gnome/screen/default/0/%gconf.xml. Does this have 1600x1200? 2. $HOME/.nvidia-settings-rc. Does your login invoke nvidia-settings --load-config-only?
