OK, I'm getting through to it ...
Replacing the D3d[89].dll does not work b/c of dllcache etc, needs safe
mode. Therefore, my "naive" installation did not work.
Neither did manual replacement/removing of dllcache/...

Safe mode - installing guest additions - lets see.
Looks good.
Looks great!

Seems I don't nee  the installer from http://www.nongnu.org/wined3d/, just
copying (nsi installer) the "addition dlls" in safe mode works.
Just - "not enough memory" for nice resolutions ...
some refresh and stability problems. We'll see.

Thanks to all concerned,
Sebastian
