Unable to see all of Maverick guest desktop with Maverick host

[rusivi2]

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release: 10.10

2) apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose
virtualbox-ose:
  Installed: 3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1
  Candidate: 3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.8-dfsg-2ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick/universe i386 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) What I expected to happen is when I have a fully updated Maverick VirtualBox guest with Guest Addition installed via sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-x11 in a fully updated Maverick host, the GUI proportionates the guest display.

4) What happens instead is in the guest I click Places -> Computer -> Edit -> Preferences the bottom portion of Preferences is cut off (please see attached screenshot.png).

There is nothing VirtualBox can do to make your screen larger.
I suggest you either use the VM in fullscreen mode or switch to Ubuntu Netbook Edition as the guest OS.

Felix, thank you very much for responding so quickly. Yes, fullscreen mode addressed that. However, I don't want to be fullscreened to see my OS when the window is maximized. it seems there should be some auto-sensing going on either by the OS and/or virtualbox to resize. This is a non-high priority wishlist bug at worst and should be marked as such.
