I came into the discussion late, so this may not make an sense at all. 
If not, please route to /dev/null...

I have a fan on my desk.  When it's on, 72Hz modes shake and give me 
migraines.  In those cases I ctrl-alt-+ to a 60Hz mode.  When the fan is 
off, the 72Hz modes more more crisp, so I ctrl-alt-+ to a 72Hz mode. 
Given that, I need to have multiple modes available at the same 
resolution at all times.  Having to restart my X-server just because I 
turn my fan on or off is silly. :)
