Login as normal via the linux login screen. The display is 1280x1024. I use the system config to change the display to 1600x900. All works until I logout. The next time I log in, the display has reverted to 1280X1024. It's as if, when I change the display to the higher value, it's not being retained---only for the duration of that session.

That is very very weird. The log file should exist. Here is one of my machines:
[root@bojan ~]# ll /var/log/Xorg.0.log -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 31880 Sep 21 14:18 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [root@bojan ~]# uname -a Linux bojan 2.6.32-279.5.2.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 24 01:07:11 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Note that "0" in the filename is the digit zero, not the capital letter O. Maybe the confusion is there.

This looks perfectly normal. The 1600x900 resolution is the preferred default and active.
My system will run the 1600x900 60.0*+ selection if I choose it at login. Otherwise it reverts to a lower selection 1280x1024.
What do you mean by "choose at login"? How exactly are you logging in and where are you offered this choice?
HTH, :-) Marko
