VMSVGA window resizing is not working under wayland (gnome via gdm). I haven't tested X. Tested with a fresh Arch guest running under a VirtualBox 6.1.12 host.

To recreate this you can `pacman -Syu gnome gdm virtualbox-guest-utils` and reboot

I assume the window resizing is broken is because the vboxdrmclient.service fails with exit code 252. I can't seem to get any more ouput on the failure than that.

Could this possibly be related to /usr/bin/VBoxDRMClient missing the setuid bit?

```
$ sudo journalctl -b0 -u vboxdrmclient.service
-- Logs begin at Thu 2020-07-16 10:09:40 UTC, end at Thu 2020-07-16 11:48:28 UTC. --

Jul 16 11:25:20 measurebox systemd[1]: vboxdrmclient.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=252/n/a
Jul 16 11:25:20 measurebox systemd[1]: vboxdrmclient.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
```

FYI VMSVGA window resizing is working if the guest additions are installed via the official Guest Additions ISO from oracle and their VBoxDRMClient binary has the setuid bit.
This task depends upon
