+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #14974 +++ After upgrading from Mageia 4 to current Cauldron, the maximum resolution has changed from 1176x885 to 1360x768, resulting in a loss in vertical screen space. Also, when X is running, rebooting or powering off the system (either through the KDE menu or reboot/poweroff commands in a terminal) causes the system to freeze.
Indeed the shutdown/reboot freezing issue is a KDE issue. It works fine from IceWM on that same desktop VM. I see some log messages that may give clues, and akonadi appears to be the culprit. These messages were in the systemd journal: Jan 08 19:32:41 mageia org.kde.kuiserver[1751]: kuiserver: Fatal IO error: client killed Jan 08 19:32:41 mageia org.a11y.atspi.Registry[3090]: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0" Jan 08 19:32:41 mageia org.a11y.atspi.Registry[3090]: after 89 requests (89 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Depends on: 14974 => (none)
I'm not sure what's responsible for fixing it, and the akonadi errors may still be worth investigating, but the shutdown/reboot issue from KDE in VMWare is fixed with the latest updates.
