PCLinuxOS 2010 Auto-resize guest display not working

I'm trying to use PCLinuxOS 2010 as a guest, it came with its own version of the guest additions already installed via its repository (Appears to be guest additions version 3.1.6 so its the latest)
The mouse integration seems to work but Auto-resizeing the guest display isn't working (when you change the window size) it might be related to it running on kde 4 instead of gnome.

Try the host + G toggle to make sure that autoresize is turned on.
Other then that you will need to install the guest additions (in the guest) again

I will try removing the pre-installed guest addition and installing clean ones later on.
Auto-resize was definatly on.

EDIT: Installing the guest addition manually instead of the pre-installed ones did the trick.
But it does seem to have an issue, PCLinuxOS will jump to the last auto-resized resolution instead of any resolution you manually set via kde's display settings.
The desktop image also resizing quite weirdly, it gets strectched.
