Crazy things happen all time so I tried your suggestion. 

I disabled "/swap" from "/etc/fstab" and restarted the VM. My current 
resolution is 1280x1024. After booting  I checked that no "/swap" 
partition was in use and tried the same steps by running xrandr to change 
the mode to 800x600 and restarted the machine but the last selected mode 
(800x600) was kept after restarting with no "/swap" at all.

This is getting very weird. How can this setting prevail between 
bootings? Even this is something involving VM guest additions module it 
should be saved in some place.
