How do I change the desktop resolution in Gnome after the initial
configuration?

Yo can't change the desktop resolution in Gnome or KDE.
Gnome is only a environment, which means it provides a panel, al lot of
useful programs etc..

When you want to change the Resolution, you have to change the settings
of your X-Server.

You can do that by typing:

XF86Setup.

If you like it the classical way, type:

xf86config

Also, depending on which resolutions are currently configured, you can
use the "Ctrl-Shift-KeyPadPlus" or "Ctrl-Shift-KeyPadMinus" keys to
toggle through screen resolutions until you find the one you want. You
will have to guess as to which resolution you are looking at because
there will be no indication of which resolution is being displayed.

This is an XFree86 "thing".

Peace....

However, there is a command to fetch all sorts of info about your
Xserver, including the screen resolution it's operating with:

xdpyinfo

That'll take the guesswork out.
