Bug Description
It's been a while that VirtualBox does not resume any VMs anymore.
Tried the "USB-Filter" solution, the 2D- and 3D- acceleration solution, added the user to the vboxusers group, but all to no avail.
Tried apt-get remove --purge virtualbox* and reinstalled. Same behavior. I have no fglrx driver (but intel).
The machine crashes upon resume, always with the same error
Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Win7.

I have this problem on my new Ubuntu 13.10 install. No problems before on 12.04. Both with Unity.
A few days ago I found in a thread somewhere else (VirtualBox forums? Forgot to bookmark and can't find it now ...) that this only happens when the VM is stopped by closing the VM window by keyboard shortcut (Alt-F4 or Ctrl-Q). Close the window by clicking the (x) or using the window menu, and the VM will resume successfully.
Still annoying as heck, because I /always/ close Windows with ctrl-q and can't get used to do it the other way. Whether this is a VirtualBox bug or an Ubuntu/Unity bug, I don't know.
