From this forum discussion https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?p=538040&sid=88a421cc07e7172a30c8cbbb7c58db25#p538040 and following posts, it appears that Windows Guest Additions VboxTray.exe logs the startup status of the Guest Additions services:

Apparently, Linux Guest Additions VBoxClient does not log these status messages unless explicitly instructed to do so.

These status messages are useful when diagnosing Guest Additions problems on the forum.

Could Linux VBoxClient have these messages turned on by default, please?
