I'm reopening this issue not as such but as complementary information.
when i run F10 (without desktop effect) under KDE, it always starts in
800x600 under VMWare 6.5 whereas last session i set it up to 1200 x 800 or
to 1152 x 864.
moreover, i setup the KDE Manager to display the same login windows as F10
KDE live... but nothing is displayed.

so where could be the problem ?
thx.
