Upgrade to kernel 3.19.0.0 (rc3) partially breaks VirtualBox guest additions

[Peter Laursen]

Please see attached image. It is a (reduced in size) screenshot of my
Windows desktop where the VM is 'almost maximized. The kernel here is
3.18.2. Note the whitespace (with 3.19.0 there iseven more whitespace.  I
am not convinced that this is a Virtualbox issue (o ra a Virtualbox issue
alone). Has rawhide + xfce been checked with high resolution (HDMI+
monitors?

(a parallel discussion in Virtualbox Forums - see link in my first post of
this thread).
