           Summary: Panel not maximized on resolution change
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: wanderer510 at yahoo.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have both kubuntu 8.10 and Fedora 10 installed in virtual machines under
VMWare 1.x for Windows. In both OSs, i have installed VMWare tools (so the
VMware display driver is installed) and i have noticed the following behavior
in both of them.

Upon startup, the resolution of the OS is smaller than the resolution that can
be supported by the VMWare window. I have selected VMWare's option "Autofit
Guest" so when i minimize VMware and restore it, it resizes the client OS to
the resolution of the VMWare window. Everything works normally, the background
image is "scaled" as it should, except that the panel is not horizontally
expanded to the width of the new resolution. I have to manually go to "panel
settings \ more settings" and select "maximize panel" in order for it to expand
to the full width of the new resolution. If the resolution is manually changed
via "system settings \ display" though, the panel is resized to fit the new
resolution's width.
