How to setup different screen resolution between accounts

[Guest]

Is there a way for me to setup up different screen resolutions between
accounts and have it stick so i dont have to keep changing the resolution
(and in essence messing up desktop icons) each time i switch accounts?
Example: Account A to have 1280x1024 and Account B to have 800x600 (and it
stay like this unless I decide to change it later)? I tried changing Account
A resolution but when I logoff and login to Account B the changes from
account A made its way to Account B (and vice versa).

You'd need a resolution changing startup script for each account me thinks.
