Description
Currently, a user *can* switch his guest Windows VM into a very high resolution, unsupported by Host monitor. The guest becomes totally un-navigatable.
I fill this as bug, because either limit the resolution guestVM can go into, *or* provide scrolling so the VM will function much like virtual resolution in X on Linux.
Software: openSUSE 10.2 Linux, VirtualBox 1.3.6 Full.

Actually we did this in 1.6.0. The GUI is reporting the resolution of the desktop area (which is often a bit smaller than the host screen resolution). Many people complain that they are not able to set a guest resolution equal to the host resolution.

Well, I have thought of a solution, that combines both.
So guest OSes will not to go beyond X*Y (say, 1600x1200 or 640x480) depending, on user's needs.
