[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#703239: The failure to properly resize the window automatically is caused by, installation resetting this auto-resize feature

I would like to report that auto-resizing of root window now works as
expected after tweaking the setting of virtualbox.

I found out that the X11 root window did not resize automatically
when the virtualbox window on the host (XP) changed its size because
it seems that the setting for auto-resize was cleared
during the installation process somewhere.

After I toggled auto-resize (view-> automatic resize of guest OS window  [I
don't know the exact English message since I used Japanese version of
Windows] (host+G),
all is well.

I have not realized that this setting is a toggle switch. I have not touched
it for a very long time.

So this was not a problem of debian package, virtualbox, etc.

Also, I notice that there is a patched ISO now, thank you.
