For example, in XP,
And to make matters worse, even after downgrading back to 3.0.0 (and reapplying the guest additions of course) the problem still remains.
Nothing was changed in the Linux X configuration and no 3D acceleration is enabled in the guest.

For example, in XP,
- I press the Start button -> the Start Menu appears
- I press the Start button again -> the Start button pops back up, but the menu is still visible (but not clickable). I.e., the Linux background is not restored.
