Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

While booting a client image, Virtualbox appears to basically destroy its main window and draw a new one something like half a dozen times. This is annoying a disruptive when you are attempting to get some other work done while booting an image.

I frequently click "start" and switch to a different workspace in order to do some other work while the image starts, but because of this behavior, it will not stay on the workspace where I started it, either.
