I see the same problem on kubuntu intrepid ibex (with KDE 4.1.2) as host and Windows XP as guest.
After restoring a VM from saved state in seamless mode, all guest windows are displayed with an "offset", i.e. the view I have on the underlying Windows desktop of the guest is not exactly the respective application window, but shifted a bit. So I see a bit of the Windows XP background picture above each window, and the last centimeter of each window is missing.
Mouse clicks go through to the correct place.
The workaround described by the original reporter doesn't work for me.
Rebooting the guest clears the problem.

Note that the view is not centered on the window.

because my host is LINUX! :)

Virtualbox 2.02 shows a similar bug under both ubunto 8.04 and 8.10 beta. When restarting a stored windows xp vm in seamless mode the underlying window overlaps the gnome panels and and the xp windows are cut off at the top. This does not seem to occur when both top and bottom gnome panels are default but will occur when either top or bottom panel is set to autohide or deleted. Repeated pressing of hostkey-l will eventually rectify the display.

I can confirm this too with XP guests on various Gentoo hosts. Applies to 2.0.2 and 2.0.4. The guest's taskbar overlaps the host's (KDE) panel. The offset between the seamless window's region and its content first occurred to me yesterday with 2.0.4 and *seems* (not sure yet) to be fixed by updating the additions to match the VM version. The panel problem is not fixed though. I've had overlapping panels before with 1.6.x versions when KDE was compiled with xinerama supported - even when not actually using xinerama. W/o xinerama, 1.6.x behaved correctly.

Forgot to mention: for me the panel bug is *not* limited to restored VMs. Happens with freshly booted guests, too.
