If the monitor is off, I can't talk to it, so I can't ask it what it can do. Note that this is something of a lie, most monitors made since, oh, 2000, will merely look like they're asleep but will still respond over DDC if they have a power cord plugged in.
But if I can't talk to it, I'll use what's in the config file. Do you have an example of X not doing so?
Yes... the most frustrating part of all. As I've been trying to communicate, xorg does _not_ use my xorg.conf when the monitor is off, and instead uses something on the scale of 800x600 which is so large, the necessary widgets are off screen.
You need to provide more information including your hardware and xorg configuration for others to reproduce and fix any issues. Might be better in a bug report.

I have already provided my Smolt UUID (a141fbad-6bc1-419a-a5e7-1c247d90184a), monitor band/model (ViewSonic PF790), and here is my xorg.conf, http://www.pembo13.com/pub/xorg.conf.watson.20070918
If there is any more information I can let me know, if not, I will elevate this to a bug report.
