Description:
Did a fresh install of my system and installed virtualbox, but I found that the vm properties pane on the right of the vbox gui is missing. So no "Details" or "Snapshots" info available.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
virtualbox 5.0.2-1
linux kernel 4.1.6-1-ARCH
qt4 4.8.7-2

* config and/or log files etc.
Starts Virtualbox from terminal gives me a warning about: Qt WARNING: libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile


Steps to reproduce:
Newly installed Arch. Virtualbox installed following the wiki page.

Reason for closing:  No response
Additional comments about closing:  This package has been updated 66 times since the initial report, spanning over two years and three minor release cycles upstream. In that time, virtualbox has been ported from qt4 to qt5.

The original reporter has not responded in the 9 months since the last request for information, and nobody else seems to see this issue. So I am assuming this is no longer a problem.

Seems one has to drag this handle all the way across to the left to make the properties pane appear. Is this the default behavior? I don't recall it back a few versions.

I'm guessing this is a byproduct of it opening so small to start with. The question is why it is doing that.

My guess is that since I'm using an external monitor for my laptop, and if I'm starting Virtualbox the firt time with the external monitor attached, its gui gets confused and hense the small/desorted window. When my external monitor is not attached, Vbox gui starts just fine.

Sounds more like a WM problem, then.

I'm running Gnome 3.16.2 if it makes any sense.

"General failure - DON'T USE THIS!!!. (VERR_GENERAL_FAILURE)"
After upgrading from 5.0.2-1 -> 5.0.4-1 I get the above message and can not start the virtual machine.

Is there any remaining issue with this?
