That was the conclusion I reached. 

And I find it very dangerous, if something got messed up you'll need many 
doses of patience and more than a basic knowdledge of your system to 
restore the correct resolution.

Yes, they do... and so I asked :-)

I also thought the resolution would be forgotten when restarting the 
system but that did not happened.

To discard a problem within the VM environment, I run the same xrandr 
commands on a openSUSE box I keep installed over "real irons" (external 
USB device) and I got the same result: xrandr settings are automatically 
remembered after reboot.

I can do more testing but if someone can confirm the problem (do not try 
on production machines), I can open a bug report on this.
