Virtualbox 5.0.6 Slow Loading & Desktop Flickers

Reported by: VBoxGrl Owned by:

Description

My System Specs;

Slackware 14.1 x86_64 Openbox 3.6.1 Nvidia 352.41 xorg-server-1.14.3 compton

I noticed that when starting Virtualbox it loads slowly, taking around 5-10 seconds before it appears on the desktop. Once it loads the entire desktop flickers.

I'm running the compton composite manager and the last safe version I could use without the slow loading and flicker was 5.0.2

Has something changed in virtualbox that is creating a problem when running a composite manager like compton?

I forgot to mention, if I disable compton, Virtualbox loads fine and the desktop does not flicker.

I don't know if Virtualbox or compton is the problem here...

This has started at the 5.0.3 version to date...

Still seeing the problem in 5.0.8

In laymen's terms this really sucks and I'd like to get a fix for this?

Thank you
