This ought to resolve the problem.  Users may have to log out and log
in again afterwards to get an appropriately-sized session, but it should 
take
effect for all logins after the setting is made.  You have to use
the "-a" option to make sure everybody gets the new setting.

Also check for any persistent utresdef settings - clear them all out.  
utxconfig
is the best solution for this type of scenario, if you expect to hotdesk 
between
monitors with different resolutions and can't live with the pan/scan 
behavior
which occurs with an oversized desktop.
