Fedora 13 & Guest Additions not working

I am running VB 3.1.8 on CentOS host & have serveral guests working fine running Mandriva & other OSs. I decided to try out Fedora 13 & installed Guest Additions. They appeared to install ok, but don't seem to be working. When the guest is running in a window, mouse integration does not work. When I switch it to full screen, the window goes full screen, but the Fedora desktop does not resize, I just end up with a small desktop surrounded by black. Also, if I connect to it using RDP, I end up with 2 mouse cursors. wich is quite annoying. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of VirtualBox. Version 3.1.8 which you are running was released 2 months before Fedora 13.

Thanks, updating to VB 3.2 did the trick. I had tried 3.2 earlier & ran into some issues so had gone back to 3.1, but those issues seem to be taken care of as well. Thanks again.
