[vbox-dev] BLUF: Consider enabling 3D acceleration by default (as least for KDE-based Linux guest OSs)

Hello! I'm Nate Graham from KDE. We're tracking an issue that causes 
Linux guest OSs with KDE Plasma 6 to fail when 3D acceleration is 
disabled: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481937. The changes made 
in Plasma 6 that resulted in this issue are unfortunately not easily 
revertable, and 3D acceleration improves the UX in general for our 
systems, so our developers aren't feeling a strong incentive for to try.

I'd like to discuss the possibility of enabling 3D acceleration by 
default--at least for as least for KDE-based Linux guest OSs.
