force xrandr settings for ALL users?

I couldn't get a correct resolution for my monitor using xorg.conf, but xrandr works great.

My question is:

How can I make these xrandr settings apply to all users on the computer (aside from editing xorg.conf)?

The only command I need to add is:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 1280x1024

Thanks,

Chris

I ended up putting the xrandr command in the /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default script (copy of Default.sample) which is handily executed after anyone logs in.

I'm sure there should be a more elegant solution, though.

Smart.

I've come to really appreciate xrandr.  My GDM screen still looks screwed up, but that's acceptable.
