I don't remember everything I eventually did.  Lots of memories of 
editing config files trying to make Xfce work muddying my recollection. 
Nothing obvious in my .bash_history either.

I know my xorg.conf is set to only use the display mode 
(resolution/refresh freq) I wanted.  For Mate, I might have only used 
the Preferences > Display app to set it and it worked right that easily. 
  I do have a ~/.config/monitors.xml file which has the desired setting 
in it and I know Mate does use that file.  A quick google search implies 
that the Mate display settings app will create it.

The only reason I went with Mate is because I hate Unity and Gnome3 and 
it's what I generally use in my Ubuntu virtual machines since it works 
well without hardware acceleration.  If there's something you're used to 
using other than Xfce I'd just test using the window manager's display 
setting, then unplugging the monitor and plugging it back in to see if 
it resets.
