the desktop size will be equal to the largest resolution given on the Modes
line in the appropriate Display subsection.  find the appropriate Display
subsection and get rid of any reference to 1280x1024.  you might also be
able to override it with a Virtual line, though i've not tried it:

Section "Screen"
    Driver      "accel"
    Device      "my video card"
    Monitor     "my monitor"
    DefaultColorDepth 16
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600" "1280x1024"
        Virtual     1024 768
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection

though just getting rid of the "1280x1024" makes a lot more sense to me:

Section "Screen"
    Driver      "accel"
    Device      "my video card"
    Monitor     "my monitor"
    DefaultColorDepth 16
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       16
        Modes       "1024x768" "640x480" "800x600"
        ViewPort    0 0
    EndSubsection
EndSection
