From what I can tell, with this little information, is that you have the issue about Compiz. When Gnome enables the fancy effects, OpenGL fails and you're stuck with a white screen. Please check the Linux Guests forum for more info.
Read the Forum Posting Guide before opening a topic.
VirtualBox FAQ: Check this before asking questions.
Online User Manual: A must read if you want to know what we're talking about.

See the Tutorials and FAQ section at the top of the Forum for more guides.
Try searching the forums first with Google and add the site filter for this forum.

(oops wrong thread - do not see a delete post option)

So I installed Xubuntu 8.04 on VBox 2.2. It works perfectly, including resize.
There is definitely a problem with VB2.2 and Xubuntu 9.04 when it comes to vbox video driver. Maybe this problem surfaces only for certain hardware like my netbook.
