Admittedly, I don't run xfce. I just assumed because the Xubuntu release 
notes for 24.04 recommends removing the libva-wayland2 package (the 
wayland runtime version of the graphics acceleration library libva) as a 
crash mitigation when running Xubuntu in a vm that 3D acceleration and 
wayland were problematic for virtualbox. But since it doesn't use 
wayland, I wonder why it was recommended to uninstall it?
