           Summary: Automatic resize of display in VMWare, when changing
                    to full screen
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: pinguino at clara.co.uk


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When showing a display in VMware, it can be full screen, or in a smaller box,
where the the guest OS is shown within the VMware application. Currently the
user must manually change the resolution of the display, for each display type.

The automatic change of resolution would be rather nice. 

I assume this is also applicable to other virtual machine types.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Run a guest OS in VMware, which uses KDE, and view within the VMware
application. Say the display uses an appropriate resolution for the window
within the VMware application.

Now fullscreen the guest application (Ctl+Alt+Enter)

Actual Results:  
The display resolution has not changed, so the display looks wrong.

Expected Results:  
The resolution changed to one appropriate to the display. Task bar resized, and
widgets shifted appropriately.
