Kubuntu's new Display system configuration module (kde-guidance package) does 
this and also supports multi-head configurations, and avoids red-herrings 
such as "being written in portable language like C/C++", or "having frontend 
and backends" or "having wrappers for langauge X, Y and Z".

It is written in Python + KDE/Qt. Redoing the GUI part using PyGTK is 
certianly possible. It just needs someone to get in there and do the work for 
the GNOME port.
