Not completely fixed, it seems. When doing startx, I get

(EE) module ABI major version (7) doesn't match the server's version (8)
(EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

I have had the same problem. The solution was to install virtualbox-ose-additions IN THE GUEST and load the modules, especially vboxvideo.

@Vesa i can't help you if you used the guest additions from the iso and installed the addition in the way is described in their manual.
