Bug Description

Using parallels only 640x480, 800x600 and 1024x768 are shown. I would like to use higher resolutions - 1280x1024 and 1680x1050 specifically, but parallels will support many more and they should also be shown.

You can use the command sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg to select more resolutions.

I am aware of that, however it's complex and very inconvenient. Windows allows you to do this easily without any terminal or any additional information.
