Description Ștefan Talpalaru 2013-06-09 14:42:01 UTC 
In order for the shared clipboard, dynamic display resolution, seamless mode and drag&drop to work, the user running the X.org session in a Gentoo guest needs to be part of the "vboxguest" group. Please add this information to the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2013-10-02 15:05:25 UTC 
All current app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions ebuilds now contain the following in pkg_postinst:

        elog ""
        elog "Please add users to the \"vboxguest\" group so they can"
        elog "benefit from seamless mode, auto-resize and clipboard."
        elog ""
