I propose a text-only, or small icons version of the guest VM list, as you can only get about 16 guests into a 1280x1024 desktop with the VirtualBox window maximised (smaller icons for the rest of the GUI and unsnapping status/toolbars would help here too).
How about an expand/collapse system (Qt4 Tree widget?) so you could have a folder for Windows, a folder for Linux, a folder for Solaris etc.
Also how about a way to change the sort order - at the moment its alphabetical, how about being able to sort by OS or last access date?
I think a good idea would be to make the guest list more like Nautilus or Windows Explorer, treating the guests like files/folders.

A bit of necrobump, but I would love to see this feature as well. As soon as the number of guests gets bigger than just a few, the VM list interface feels cluttered and unusable. It would be great to be able to switch to simple list view.
Edit: Using already implemented in the VirtualBox, "Grouping" functionality already helps a lot with the usability of the VM list. With this possibility, I guess we can live without small icons view.
Yes, very interesting idea to make the view customizable.
