Bug Description
Hi,
just as a quick response:
I've installed the new 17.10 Desktop for testing in a virtual machine (VirtualBox 5.1.20 running on MacOS), and while it installed smoothly and booted instantly, there's a problem with the graphics (probably related to wayland): Especially when moving the mouse or starting new programs the screen flashes white every few seconds or sometimes shows just a blank grey screen for about a second. Not suited for regular work.
But I have no clue which component precisely is causing that problem.
regards

Upgrading to the latest VirtualBox release 5.2.0 does not help.
