Description
I tried to install Ubuntu Gutsy into VirtualBox.
After instaling the guest additions I get large resolution that does not fit on the screen - both in splash screen and gdm login screen. The console is OK, and I can set the resolution for the user but I would prefer the resolution of the splash and login screens to be the same.
This may be also related to the OS X problem with window borders - there are 1px borders around the window which are chopped off the client area without resizing the client properly. This in turn makes scrollbars appear in the Virtualbox window, and space for these is again taken from the client, without resising. This makes any toolbars at the bottom of the screen (either Windows or Gnome) quite hard to use.
