I'm really sorry: I was pretty sleepy and didn't notice your instructions for starting the processes. Now I've done that, and the VM window resizes and copy/paste works in both directions (I prefer not to use the seamless feature - it confuses me). Here is the new output:
Well different distros/Window managers has an irritating habit of putting startup scripts in different places. So unfortunately VirtualBox doesn't know where your combo wants to have it ( If it has such a location). But at least you have a workaround now.
Some say: "You learn as long as you live".
My way: "You live as long as you learn".
For the info of anyone who might have this same problem:
I made a script to autostart the three necessary commands on bootup. Adding the commands to ~/.bashrc or /root/.bashrc didn't work. I'm using Fluxbox in this Antix-M8 guest, so I added the script (executable) to ~/.fluxbox/startup; you'll have to find where your distro/desktop puts its autostart files. The script runs as USER for me; running it as root isn't necessary.
#!/bin/bash
# name = fixit
# script to be run as USER to fix crippled VM
# adds the autoresize, shared clipboard, and
# seamless features.
# Tested in VirtualBox 2.2.2, Antix-M8 as host
# and also as guest.
VBoxClient --clipboard
VBoxClient --autoresize
VBoxClient --seamless
Anybody tried this with a fedora host? I run VirtualBox 2.2.2 with Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 on Fedora 11 and the clipboard simply doesn't work.
The VBoxClient daemons are running, the log writes some things about activating clipboard services and threads, mouse integration and guest resizing work perfectly but middle-button clipboard still doesn't work.

I have Ubuntu 9.04 as the host with VB2.2.4r47978 and guest MS XPsp2 and randomly my copy from host to guests also stops working. It may come back if I restart the guest but, on other occasionally i have to reboot the host also.
