Auto-Resize Guest Display Greyed-out - KDE on RHEL 5

Post by shagg11784 »

I cannot get the "Auto-Resize Guest Display" to work using KDE on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5).
I have tried manually running `/usr/bin/VBoxClient-all` and `/usr/bin/VBoxClient`.
The "vboxclient.desktop" does exist in both "/etc/xdg/autostart" and "/usr/share/Autostart". I also added the desktop file to "~/.kde/Autostart" (previous forum post suggestion).
$ cat /usr/share/autostart/vboxclient.desktop

As stated in Minimum information needed for assistance, we need at least the VM log file(s) for the session where the issue is exhibited. Guest settings are always welcome also.
