Ah, thanks for that. I was having a heck of a time getting the newer
VirtualBox icon on the desktop to work. Did the right-click thing in the
'Applications|System Tools|Innotek VirtualBox|Add this launcher to
desktop' and kept getting no such directory errors when I'd try to run
the icon. Looked in /usr/share/applications and found that it's been
renamed to 'Sun xVM VirtualBox' - copied that one to the desktop and
that one works just fine. It appears that somewhere along the line the
Applications menu item never got updated.
