Thanks.  That worked.  At least it did after I launched it as

  sudo nvidia-settings

I think the way it is set up on the menu must be a bug because unless 
you run it as root it cannot save the settings to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

So now I have another question:

Why is this a global setting?  Why is it not per user?  Another user 
with poorer eyesight might well want a different setting.

Thanks again,

Kevin.
