Hi Martin
> The curiosity with Vbox5.0.x and 5.1.x (no matter if Oracle bins or self-built) is, that you cannot properly run vbox5 as root (for a short test), because the Qt GUI gets messed up and no text is shown. Quite odd.

I could start as root if I tunnel the X-Windows

It makes no different if I connect from Windows (putty x-forward) or do
an 'ssh -X' on the Solaris.

May this work for the moment as a work-around
