I am running vbox version 3.1.2 on Mac OS X 10.6.2. I have two guests set up: one Windows XP and the other Gentoo Linux. When I lock my screen (Mac OS level) the guest machines are paused. I cannot figure out how to prevent this. Any hints?

Being new to Mac OS I didn't realize that the "screen lock" I had set up was based on fast user switching and was actually attempting to log me out. I have changed to using the screensaver (/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine) instead and it is all working fine now.
