Hm, obviously, the problem is really caused by the 3D acceleration setting in
the the settings for the VirtualBox VM; when I disable the acceleration, the
problem disappears. But I wonder why the problem occurs with acceleration, I
have the guest additions installed (I installed the manually, not from the
distributed package), modules vboxvideo and vmwgfx are loaded, and /var/log/
Xorg.0.log says that the VMware driver is used.
