How can I get the resolution setting for my nvidia card to stick?
Whenever I log on the resolution reverts to 1280 x 1024. I can reset
this to 1680 X 1050 using the nvidia-settings widget and I click the
"Save to X Configuration File" button but this setting only lasts
through my current session.

Put this section in your xorg.conf , just after the "Device" Section.
Change the "1024x768" to your desired settings.
I use Nvidia also and the Nvidia Setting are not going to help.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24

EndSubSection
EndSection


Here's my original xorg.conf:

I cut both "Screen" sections and replaced them with what you suggested
but it still didn't work. The file seems to be doubled up on "Device"
and "Screen" sections -- it isn't clear to me if I need both or, if not,
what I can delete.
