[OpenIndiana-discuss] vbox 4.3.6 guest problems

[Bryan N Iotti]

Hi Gabriele,

Out of curiosity I just tried cairo-dock on OI hipster. I get a black box around the dock if I'm running it without compiz.

Are you using a compositing window manager?

I'll give it a try in VBox within two days (no VT-x here) and report back.
