Auto-VirtualBox!

[David McNally]

Hi everyone.

I'm not sure if this might help us find out the problem, but I'm using
Windows XP x64 Edition in VirtualBox on Ubuntu 9.04 64-bit. I'm not sure if
the people using different versions of Windows are getting different
results.

Also, it's really not a big problem for me. I just have to hit Host+F twice.
(Though it would be nice if there were an easy fix.)

Right now, the bigger issue is removing the password. There aren't any
malicious people with physical access to the computer I'm using, so a
password isn't very important for this. It says it needs to have a password
that's at least six characters, but I don't need a password for this at all.

It's okay if no one can find a fix, but maybe we should allow
less-than-six-character passwords for 9.10.
