 I think the OS (like you) should be able to handle this gracefully. 
But, I think it will only be able to if you can use a virtual
resolution.  I am reasonably confident there is a workaround for this
that you could use (i.e. not programming something yourself)

We were talking about a similar point, I think.  She is right that the
apps size their own windows according to whatever they choose.

I am in the same boat as you.  I put Lubuntu on all the really old
machines.  The newest Lubuntu has most of the missing pieces together. 
I do wonder if LXQt handles this resolution problem any differently.  It
is something that might be worth testing for you.  I know LXQt wont be
default soon... but  it might be very useful to get it up and running
and see how it reacts with all the issues you have faced.  Last time I
used RazorQt there were a lot of unresolved things... but that was a
year or two ago... and with the LX team (and others) helping RazorQt I
am sure it is far better by now!  I want to try it out, but  there are
no PowerPC builds yet...  I suppose I could build my own packages to
install (and I may)

I do think this issue is related to Xorg, though.
