--- Comment #41 from OlafLostViking <olaf.the.lost.vik...@gmail.com> ---
I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. But if you suggested that, when
starting a plasmashell session, you set the initial resolution to the size of
the VM window (preferred resolution as shown by xrandr), independently of what
the last set resolution was, I agree. So, do not try to tranfer the resolution
of the last shutdown to the new startup. Always stay with the preferred mode
until the user manually switches away from it. And go back to the adapting size
if the user selects the window size again.

To improve the user experience, I'd suggest to add a checkbox "Use preferred
resolution" which is checked by default. And only when the user deactivates
that, plasma uses fixed resolutions as given in kscreen. By using this approach
it would even be possible for a user to always stay with a "strange" resolution
even when rebooting the VM (plasma always restores the last selected resolution
when the checkbox wasn't selected). This would also help people on "real"
hardware that have to carry their machine from projector to projector. Plasma
wouldn't switch between different resolutions if the user forced f.ex.
1024x768. Only after selecting "Use preferred mode" plasma/kscreen takes back
command and adapts to the resolution of the hardware/vm window.
