Ok Can we set this issue as [Solved] ?
Sorry for slight delay, but I needed to cut some of letters to put [SOLVED].:lol:
Due to the use of Virtualbox QT libs and not the system libs, my GTK+ theme is not used in Virtualbox, but it is used in other QT apps as VLC and SMplayer, so I thought this would be normal...?
So, is there some incosistency in theme between GNOME desktop and Qt apps?
I didn't try yet this new updated package.
edit:
Nevermind. Now is all OK.
There is also small bug, On first run it fails to register saying invalid IP adress, and I need to go Help>Register Virtualbox, than it's OK.

]]>Anyone can confirm this is working?
PS: Note that some corrections to the PKGBUILD may be needed because the libpng12 issue. Please read carefully the comments on [1].
]]>Ok, we have an answer from Virtualbox guys [1].
from poetzsch: 'As far I can see ArchLinux uses the run package from our side. The run package contains all necessary libraries which includes the Qt libraries as well. It is build and packaged this way to ensure all necessary bits are there and to make external dependencies as low as possible. Replacing the qt libraries with newer one is something we didn't support. Maybe the package maintainer should consider to use the bundled libraries. The same is done on Gentoo and there are no problems with that. I saw a discussion going on about the dependency on libpng12. This is another problem which we maybe fix in a future version.'
So, we need to contact 'bdheeman' (virtualbox-sun package maintainer) to confirm this, and to see if that solution is possible. I'll leave a message on the AUR package page [2] pointing to this thread.

Thank you for keeping us posted. I installed another package from AUR which caused the bug I mentioned before: Virtualbox_bin 3.1.4. I left a comment there with the same question if it's possible to make the changes.

I can confirm this bug. Change qtconfig settings to anything but GTK+ and Default solves the problem. Downgrading qt is not an option if you have upgraded kde or you're using kde apps. It seems we need to wait to Sun/Oracle guys to fix this issue.
Also, if qtconfig doen't remember the settings, try deleting ~/.config/Trolltech.conf and save settings again. [1]
I've filled a bug report on VirtualBox's bug tracker [2].

I also thought it could be a QT issue, so I reinstalled QT 4.6.2, I recompiled virtualbox 3.1.4 with -j2 option instead of -j3, but it all makes no difference.
However, I have found a workaround for the crashing: change the QT theme to let's say cleanlooks in QT config. Whatever you choose should be fine, as long as it's not GTK+ or Desktop (default).
]]>works with qt-4.5.3-4
Yeah, but just for the record, after downgrading to qt-4.5.3-4 I've had problems with VLC.
and I get errors:
VLC media player 1.0.5 Goldeneye
[0x1d87098] main libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
[0x7f25ac0022b8] main interface error: possibly corrupt module cache

By the way, new qt-4.6.2-1 upgrade, fix problems with VirtualBox, finally.
I need to correct myself. On Alt+G it still crash, but I can Alt+S on virtual machine.
]]>works with qt-4.5.3-4
Yep!!
]]>I have also the same problem (with both versions 3.1.4 and 3.1.2)!
Maybe it is related to Qt version. I will try to downgrade
my Qt version to check if my suspicion will be confirmed!Regards
Nik
With previous version 3.1.2, I've had session restore crashing.
OK, do that, and tell us your results.
