[vbox-dev] Problem with GNOME while running openSUSE as guest

[Michael Thayer]

Just wanted to jump in here quickly - I think that for this particular 
issue this mailing list is probably really the right place.  Obviously I 
will try to take a look at this when I get a chance; since this is a 
development list other people should feel free to investigate too.

Regards,

Michael
