Description
Doesn't Work : 2.2.0, 2.2.2
When run from various 'Run Dialog' programs (gmrun, grun, fluxbox menu) or from the console (Konsole), the main VirtualBox window doesn't populate. This problem occurs frequently, not every time on the test machine. The window appears, with the Sun VirtualBox title, but has nothing inside it. The window cannot be closed using the window manager buttons.
The following gets VirtaulBox to work properly:
VirtualBox (windows appears blank)
killall VirtualBox
(quickly!) VirtualBox (program works fine)
From looking at ps ax immediately after closing VirtualBox, the following processes contine to run for a short time after the killall. I think that if VirtualBox is run again before these have exited, then the new instance opens correctly.
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxXPCOMIPCD
/opt/VirtualBox/VBoxSVC --automate
OS: Gentoo, using app-emulation/virtualbox-bin (not compiled from source)
WM: fluxbox
