The monitor detection code is almost identical; you should (ideally) find where it's going wrong in your case or at least file a bug in bugzilla. The Xconfigurator code is reall horrible. It started life as xf86config (which was really ugly to begin with) and then had a number of quick hacks put on top of it. The code is really unmaintainable and needs to be thrown out at some point.
