 For sure, these problems (quitting the AES trying to restart another AES
or changing resolutions) have always been a problem lying in the VDI. Most
VDI's look like they're written with a "ah well, user wont switch
resolution without rebooting anyway, so..." mentality. This will change
with oVDI ;-)

 As said in a different posting, I think I found the problem. At least now
ChRes works perfect all the time. I can change from any to any resolution.
