Clicking the test button in xvidtune without making any changes seems to fix the problem, bu only for that session. When you next log in, the offset is back.
A fter going to the help link, I ran the dpkg-reconfigure script as it suggested. It ran through all the configuration settings and I answered all the questions. At the end it said tha no changes were made because the md5sum check failed. This makes sense as I had blown away my xorg.conf file and couldn't create the md5sum. However, it seems to have written an xorg.conf file anyway. Of course the offset is back. Remember that X was running without an xorg.conf file (at least as far as I could figure out. The nautilus search tool couldn't find one in the file system) when I tried dpkg-reconfigure.
