OK, so this has just happened again so I took the opportunity to see
what xrandr had to say about it.

Two odd (to me) things: it's suggesting that it's the horizontal measure
that's changed, though what I'm seeing is a display that's very much
stretched vertically, and it's listed this new pair last, below the
smallest one.
I tried resetting using xrandr:
$ xrandr --fb 1152x864
xrandr: specified screen 1152x864 not large enough for output default
(1360x864+0+0)
Does:
xrandr -s 1360x864
work any better for you? I find that I have to issue 2 commands since
it "thinks" its already in the size I wish to choose, so I'd do:
xrandr -s 800x600
xrandr -s 1360x864
-s sets the screen size. -fb sets the frame buffer size. The frame
buffer size needs to be large enough to hold the largest screen size,
since a smaller screen size can be "scrolled" to view the entire frame
buffer if necessary. In Xorg.conf parlance, -fb is the "virtual screen
size", and -s is the actual screen size. When -s is smaller than -fb,
the screen can be scrolled (via mouse movements) to view the entire
frame buffer.
In the end, logging out and back in has fixed things, as usual.
Of course, it resets everything from scratch.
