Does Debian have anything like that?if you're using sid and KDE 3.2 you can use krandrtray. I remember that gnome had one too, but I don't remember the details.
OK, I found gvidm[1] (doesn't depend on Gnome), but it only changes the resolution of the screen, but the resolution of the X desktop.
Does anyone know if krandrtray will change the desktop resolution also?

Filename: pool/main/g/gvidm/gvidm_0.3.1-4_i386.deb Size: 13682 MD5sum: 21e54672a7c2f6b45a89fba2ff1b1dfd Description: Gtk app to quickly and easily change video resolutions in X. Running gvidm will pop up a list of available modes and allows the user to select one if desired. This makes it perfect for running from an application menu or a hotkey, so you don't have to use ram for an applet constantly running. If you are running dual or multi-head displays, it will give you a list of screens so you can select the appropriate one.
