Alec, you are right in both your last comments. RandR tries to match modes as
closely as possible so that you see the same on all screens (or that screens
match up either horizontally or vertically).
This is because on modern day desktops you almost always have elements on the
bottom or on one side which you won't be able to reach on the smaller display.
If you want something else you'd have to use
xrandr --output PANEL --mode 1400x1050.
My goal was to make this no longer fail so that you can really set up your
panel the way you personally prefer.
The option 'none' doesn't have any effect if you have to scale down. It only
affects the case where you scale up, as it will give you the screen in the top
left corner while the parts of the panel the smaller root window doesn't cover
are black.
You cannot do this in the downscale mode.
The startup default is something controlled by RandR not the driver. Scaling
just extends the list of available modes for the panel from one (the native
one) to a list of standard resolutions. This way the user can choose a
resolution at run time using xrandr or some other tool.
