GDM (gnome-shell mode) hangs most of the time

[Michael]

Host: Fedora 16 x86_64

Guest: Fedora 16 i686

VirtualBox 4.1.8 GA installed. SELinux is in permissive mode in the guest.

9 times out of 10, GDM will never appear. I connected with SSH and ran GDB on gnome-shell --gdm-mode and got this backtrace:

Could you check whether the issue is fixed with VBox 4.3 and 4.3 Additions, and re-open the ticket if needed?

[Michael]

This was fixed with ticket 12319. I had forgotten I had opened this ticket.
