Gnome 3 window decoration issue on Debian guest with 3D acceleration enabled

Reported by: debianized Owned by:
Component: 3D support Version: VirtualBox 4.3.20
Keywords: opengl, 3d, acceleration, guest, additions Cc:
Guest type: Linux Host type: Windows

Description

I searched for an already opened ticket: I found ticket:12320 ticket:12746 ticket:12941 that seem similar, but in my case there is no guest crash, actually just some X server problems.

Host:

Windows 8.1
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX 860M (dedicated GPU)
Intel HD 4600 (integrated GPU)
VirtualBox 4.3.20r96997

Guest:

Debian 8 (testing) quite fresh installation
3D acceleration enabled

Issue: It looks everything work fine....but after some using of Totem video player, window decoration crashes (see the attached screenshot): for example

  1. If I select menu->properties during video playback, its window is not visible because video rectangle remain "on top", while the properties window lies correctly above the title bar.
  2. If I open and close several video files, suddenly window decoration crashes. Buttons are not drawn (even the date and the clock) and there are white or gray rectangles in their place. If I restart gnome 3 (alt+F2 then "r"), some buttons are still not clickable, i.e. poweroff button, some other are missing (I suppose it is a gnome 3 behaviour after video capabilities have been switched from 3D to 2D). I have to reboot from a terminal (TTY).

Xorg logs are clean, while virtualbox guest logs show GuestAdditions errors: (full log is attached)

The first problem of the video being "on top" of the menu is a long time issue with any Linux guest or DE (5+ years). It's because VirtualBox does not support XVideo. A work around is to use VLC or any other video player that allows you to switch the video output to X11 video.
