Description Wanderer 2009-03-30 22:20:39 UTC 
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.

The 'maximize panel' setting is not remembered when I connect an external monitor with larger resolution after restart.

Still present in KDE 4.2.3
