In any case, VBox with 3d accelleration enables and 128MB for video memory

is not sufficient for GShell. (VBox 4.0.4)

Also, on that last note, we should clarify that right now Shell doesn't

work even in virtualized environments where accelerated graphics *are*

available, e.g. VirtualBox with appropriate hardware and drivers. In

theory it should be possible to make this work, but in practice it

currently doesn't.

So there's two angles we can approach this from; make Shell run with

software GL, or fix up Shell to work with virtualized graphics

acceleration passthrough. But it's not at all guaranteed that we'll

manage either in time for f15.
