<title>Shared Clipboard, Auto-Resizing, and Seamless Desktop in X11 Guests</title>
<body>
<p>
Guest desktop services in guests running the X11 window system
such as Oracle Solaris and Linux, are provided by a guest
service called <userinput>VBoxClient</userinput>, which runs under
the ID of the user who started the desktop session and is
automatically started using the following command lines when
your X11 user session is started if you are using a common
desktop environment such as Gnome or KDE.
</p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxClient --clipboard
$ VBoxClient --display
$ VBoxClient --seamless</pre>
<p>
If a particular desktop service is not working correctly, it is
worth checking whether the process which should provide it is
running.
</p>
<p> The <userinput>VBoxClient</userinput> processes create files in the user's home directory
with names of the form <filepath>.vboxclient-*.pid</filepath> when they are running in order
to prevent a given service from being started twice. It can happen due to misconfiguration
that these files are created owned by root and not deleted when the services are stopped,
which will prevent them from being started in future sessions. If the services cannot be
started, you may want to check whether these files still exist. </p>
