Hi folks, I think this is probably a problem with bad Windows coding, rather than a genuine flaw in vBox, but it ONLY happens when running WinXP as guest, and NOT when running WinXP native.
It is a poker client/app; when in VBOX, if I move a window, the image of the original window remains persistently even over the top of other windows.
It can sometimes be "cured" by bringing up the "menu" or lobby of the app, and then minimising it. It is however, VERY annoying..
Should I report this as a "bug" to VBoX, or start by giving grief to the site? (I have reason to believe that no one will know what on earth I am talking about if I went to their "support" page!)
The client is Lucas Poker, the client software here:

Also in vBox host openSuse 11.1 guest WinXP sp3, Firefox 3.5.3 has gone a bit mad now all of its toolbars are ENORMOUS!!!!

Is this just me, or a 3.5.3 bugette?
