If you're using xvnc on Linux (for example, if you're running Xfce on xrdp on Fedora) and you want to resize the display, here's a way to do it.

DISPLAY=:10 xrandr --output VNC-0 --mode 1024x768

You could also use an --auto instead of a --mode XxY setting. Apparently I like to redo my own work. Check out resize.sh from my bgscripts package.

for word in $( xrandr --listactivemonitors | awk 'NR != 1 { print $NF; }'; ); do xrandr --output ${word} --auto 1>/dev/null 2>&1; done
