Bug Description

When changing screen resolution via Menu>System>Screen Resolution, the workspace size is not decreased to match the new resolution. This leaves the workspace the original size with a smaller viewable are, hiding either the desktop icons at the top, or taskbar at bottom. This is not corrected by restarting Fluxbox through the menu.

Same problem for me on the 7.10 RC, changing resolution from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 it just activate virtual size 1024x768 on a virtual 1280x1024 display.
I tried to modify xorg.conf manual putting option in section screen => Virtual "1024x768" to force the resolution, but something went wrong with an alt+tab.
Actually system hang completly no way to use ctrl+F1 tty after a hard reboot same thing, i guess i'm going to use single mode to switch to ancien xorg.conf.

Ok after a single mode boot, i was able to read the xorg log, and put the correct value of virtual in xorg.conf : Virtual 1024 768
I have my correct resolution set .. but the bug is still here as a manual configuration is necessary to change resolution.

I'm seeing the same issue. I will try the workaround suggested by Valombre.
