Feature Request: Control HOST os resolution in fullscreen mode (for res switching)

[hyakki]

Id like to see a feature that allows virtual box to control the physical monitor on resolution switching

for example

you launch gameA.exe and it needs to run in fullscreen 800x600 on the GUEST os but the HOST os is 1600x1600 (right now it just shows as a little square in the middle of the screen with big borders), it would be really nice if VirtualBox could change the HOST display to the required resolution the guest os is at. (this would probably be needed for windows only and when in fullscreen mode, i think X11 doesn't change res's as much)

so far other software such as microsoft virtual pc 2007 (in their options it has a pulldown that says "use guest os resolution", "use host's resolution" ..etc)

vmware , and parallels has a option, VirtualBox is such great software this feature missing is a giant let down for me, it has speed, hardware support, lightweight, it just cant control the host's resolution. :\

dont confuse this with ctrl+g (since that just ups the virtualbox to the host's current resolution (what i need is the host's resolution to match the currnet guest os resolution so basically its reversed ;) )

Agreed that it's nice to have, but it's certainly not a blocker.
