ok, i mistakenly used DATE type instead of DATETIME. now the pre-
selected value is displayed.
i also discover that, to show the empty option (but not pre-selected),
the corrent parameter is "empty" and not "showEmpty"...

echo $form->input('validity_date_from', array(
        'type'=>'datetime',
        'label' => 'validity date from',
        'selected' => $this->data['Dpage']['validity_date_from'],
        'empty' => true
));

well,
that's all.
thanks to all... anyway :)
