Applying the settings could trigger the execution of a new program. When a user logs in (or is it possible at the GDM screen?), it asks if the new settings should persist. Otherwise, it assumes not, reverts with the next reboot and disables itself. Just like the resolution change, but a bit larger scale.

I'm really worried that this is duplicating some work that is also planned (or already being done, I don't know) upstream. The GNOME control center maintainers want to have a nice screen configuration tool, using xrandr. It might make sense to do this work upstream, and have a script that detects if the computer has a xrandr-suitable driver to launch the upstream tool or DisplayConfigGtk (which would deal with the need to write to xorg.conf).
