Quickly; just wanted to help promote this blog post.  If you have Gnome and you’re running Compiz and you’ve notice a very weird graphical glitch when running Virtualbox in Seamless mode, then here’s the workaround for you!  The blog post is by Rick Fleming.

I tried it and it works.  It wasn’t extremely easy to understand though. At first, I didn’t know where the .exe file was.  You can find the executable file in “VBoxWorkaround\obj\Release\VBoxWorkaround.exe”.  Create a shortcut and put it in your “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup” folder.
