Oddly, a reboot with no other action on my part... (Ok, I DID C-A-F5 to 
a tty and did Xorg -configure a couple of times, but each time produced 
errors nothing seemingly encouraging at all)
seems to have returned me to my original, beautiful 1680x1050 resolution.
TL;DR: A reboot fixed me...I almost feel I've been jettisoned into 
Windows-Land?!
