After a seemingly routine upgrade, my GUI extends slightly to both sides
of the screen - sliding either way as the cursor nears - and all the
applications appear enlarged.

There was a suggestion on

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/151527-debian-gui-larg
er-than-monitor.html

to add

xrandr -s 1280x960 --rate 75 &

or in my case

xrandr -s 1024x768 --rate 74 &

to /etc/X11/Xsession

but nothing changed.

I might try changing the vga setting on grub, but are
there any other ideas out there ?

It gets a bit frustrating when trying to submit quality
stuff under time pressure.
