    Can't launch X on kubuntu as guest in VirtualBox after installing tools..

    I'm presently running Ubuntu 9.04 on an iMac running OS 10.5.6 using
    VirtualBox v2.2.2r46594. With this setup I am able to run compiz fusion
    and can use all desktop effects without difficulty.

    I followed the same method to install Kubuntu. The initial installation went
    without problems and I was able to use the basic 800x600 screen just fine.

    I installed the virtualbox additions (2.2.0_Beta2) as I did for ubuntu. After
    I enter my username and password I see the splash screen with my HD icon,
    then the screen goes dark and I'm back at the login screen. It bears mentioning
    that I have the same behavior after installing KDE desktop on my ubuntu setup;
    namely, if I select KDE as my session type, I'm shortly thrown back to the login
    screen. Selecting GNOME puts me back in ubuntu as before.

    Lastly, I have the identical problem after installing kubuntu in Parallels Desktop
    4.0 for mac (Build 4.0.3540 (November 22, 2008)).

    Any insight, hints or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
