If you mess up gnome display settings, there might be a situation where gnome does not load. It might log in and then hang. In such a situation, all you have to do to get the default settings back is to delete the configuration files in your home folder.
Log into KDE or start a virtual terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1), and delete the folders .gconf, .gconfd, .gnome2, .gnome2_private. (try rm -rf from terminal)
This will remove all settings and you'll be back to the day when you logged in the first time.
Note: this does not resolve hardware issues!
