Simplified X mode selection

Registered by Matt Zimmerman

This blueprint has been superseded. See the newer blueprint "GTK Display configuration tool based on guidance" for updated plans.

Currently, the display modes used by the X server are selected at install time, and can only be changed by reconfiguring using debconf. We should allow the mode to be selected from the desktop environment.
