It seems that I'm probably only lucky that my display is not messed up after I changed the resolution manually ?!

Well, you mentioned windows getting resized if you have other programs open. The thing is, this is acceptable, because *you* initiated the monitor change. But when users tell a program to change resolutions, they do NOT want windows and icons messed up. They'd be quite upset if it happened. And, the way MacOS X works, there is no way for me to change resolutions and not mess anything up, unless my program
takes overthe entire computer, so you can only see my game -- nothing else. That's why, when playing Midnight Mansion in full-screen mode, if you pause and then hit Command-Space, it changes resolutions back to the normal resolution before going to windowed mode. That's the ONLY way it can keep from messing things up.
