This seems more and more to be a system level problem, not a DE problem.
I am fairly convinced that this has to do with Xorg, or possibly LightDM.

Does anyone else have any thoughts about this?

Also, does anyone know of a way to virtualize the resolution, so the
apps think the screen resolution is big, but the screen shows a smaller
version of the view?

Alternatively, can this be faked in Xorg?  Can you set your resolution
to a higher range than possible for the monitor, or will that simply
make the display not work?
