[OpenIndiana-discuss] vbox 4.3.6 guest problems

Hi,
I was wandering if OI suffer the same problem we're facing on XStream Desktop (working on beta2).
Latest vbox 4.3.6 delivers video drivers solairs with X11 1.13.1 and 1.14.5, at last!
So we should not need to deliver our own build of additions any more.
BUT...
We tried the 4.3.6 additions, both with X11 1.13.1 (beta1) and 1.14.5 (beta2), and cairo-dock
is horribly painted with a black background all around, and it also glitches, and more bugs.
Running with "-c" works, but obviously many nice effects go away.
With "-o" it's a madness.
Debugging the code, we discovered that it actually finds a correct stencil buffer visual with transparency
on the vboxvideo driver, but then everything is painted bad!
Is anyone capable of trying OI on vbox4.3.6+drivers and run cairo-dock in ogl mode to see if you
have the same happening?
Thanks for any help
Gabriele.
