Description
I updated several packages today using the Application Installer, and since the restart, my CentOS7 guest won't fill my whole VirtualBox window (resolution stuck at 1024x768 while it's normally 1920x1070) and the desktop panels have started freezing.

Off the top of my head, try removing $HOME/.config/monitors.xml files in the guest, and this forums topic:

Feel free to re-open this ticket if discussion on the forums suggests it is an Additions bug.

It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there. More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of. For example, yours is most probably not a bug and someone from the developers has to deal with it and close it as "Invalid".
