GUI for XrandR 1.2

I really like the ability to change screen resolutions using XrandR 1.2 & gtf on the fly. But sometimes it's too boring to gtf,newmode,addmode, to just set the video mode and find that it's not what i want and continue searching for a good video mode.
Is there any GUI front-end for XrandR 1.2, so that i could just type something like 1280x1024@75 and the program would do the gtf/newmode/addmode/mode as well as handle already existing modes for me?

Does the package 'grandr' work for you?

It does set the resolution, but only one of the shown in the output of xrandr command.
What i need is to set arbitrary resolution, as i can with gtf, then xrandr --newmode, then xrandr --addmode, and only then with xrandr --mode, but using GUI (or even maybe CLI) AND - the main feature - that i wouldn't have to issue so many commands to set each resolution not yet present in xrandr configuration, and, if the mode is already present, then the program would use it instead of adding the same mode once again.

You could try krandrtray

krandrtray, as grandr, arandr and some other GUI tools just let me to select from already existing modes. What i need is to setup custom screen resolutions.
