First make sure you have this option enabled Then on your guest machine (i.e. running on Virtualbox), kill the  VBoxClient  process then run  VBoxClient-all . I'm not sure, but I strongly think this should only work only after installing the Virtualbox additions.

Ubuntu 13.10: Installing Xfce 4.12

I had a very nice impression when I tried Xubuntu. That was exactly the idea I had about linux. Stylish, very fast, space savvy and highly configurable. There is nothing I've tried to customize with Xubuntu's panels that I couldn't. Here is how to have this nice experience alongside Ubuntu's Unity sudo su add-apt-repository -y ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.10 add-apt-repository -y ppa:xubuntu-dev/xfce-4.12 apt-get -y update apt-get -y install xfce4 The -y switch is to assume "yes" to all questions Adding xfce 4.10 ppa will avoid you some dependencies problems
