1366x900 is a seriously uncommon resolution. I wonder if Gnome, Xorg or driver
devs even know it exists? Does xrandr -q confirm it's what you have? According
to
https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Lenovo-ThinkPad-X220T-4298-2YG-Convertible-Notebook.60217.0.html
that model only comes with 1366x768 screens.

Gnome is very demanding compared to other DEs. If GDM is still installed,
removing it might help. Make sure to configure trinity-tdm as your display
manager. I have lots of openSUSE installations with KDE3 or TDE, none on
laptops, but several with dual displays available. None have ever done as you
describe, and GDM is never installed.
