Holy crap an annoying Fedora 19 bug
After installing my fresh, shiny new copy of Fedora 19 in VirtualBox, I went and dutifully installed the Guest Additions (which was a pain, mind you)
-- and the system is hosed. So a quick google teaches me this:

Well, I actually installed the 64 bit version... but my OS is hosed anyway...
Foo! Wish I'd known that at the start. Now to start over...

Don't do it, the bug won't go away no matter how many times you try.
LOL! But the bug is in Gnome, not X.
I don't like Gnome anyway, so after looking around I found something I didn't know about before (even though it has always been in an obvious spot, lol): "Spins". So I got the XFCE Spin 64-bit ISO and installed it instead of the default.
And Guest Additions works perfectly! I'm using it right now in Seamless mode.
:O)
Now I'm off to compile some binaries for Linux...
