Description Walter Meinl 2008-12-09 22:35:41 UTC 
new in virtualbox-guest-additions is the install of the vboxclient.desktop file. It's implemented as a menu. However, in the Sun's guest-additions the vboxclient.desktop gets installed to /etc/xdg/autostart. One can then use the gnome-control-center to switch autoload of /usr/bin/VBoxClient off or on (default).
Anyway, having a menu to start VBoxClient after X-server was started makes no sense, since VBoxClient would already be started before the server by /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/98VBoxClient script.
In Sun's guest-additions the vboxclient.desktop file substituted the 98VBoxClient file in the /etc/X11 directory.

Reproducible: Always
