I have recently installed Archlinux under VirtualBox running on a Windows Vista Host machine. The basic install went fine, but when after installing Xorg and KDE I found I get segmentation faults when logging out of KDE.
My basic process was...
1. Install base Arch system.
2. Update entire system (pacman first then the whole system itself)
3. Install Xorg
4. Install KDE
5. Install VirtualBox Guest Additions
I am pretty certain this is purely an Xorg issue (not related to the window manager) as I have tried Gnome as well with similar results.
I am a newbie when it comes to Arch so if this is a known issue and workaround, forgive me...

I realized that there was a 'virtualbox-additions' target available through pacman so I created a new clean virtual machine and installed Arch and used the 'virtualbox-additions' from the Arch repositories instead of installing the ones provided by VirtualBox. So my process was...
1. Install base Arch
2. Update the entire system (pacman first, then the rest of the system)
3. Install Xorg
4. Install KDE
5. Install 'virtualbox-additions' from the Arch repositories.
While I didn't get a segmentation fault from Xorg when logging out of KDE, the installed virtualbox-additions where not compatible with VirtualBox (at least not completely), i.e. Xorg/KDE was not able to be resized correctly. So I then tried to install the guest additions included with VirtualBox manually. This fixed the resizing issue but then the seg fault was back.

I realized that 'virtualbox-additions' are for the PUEL instead of the OSE version of VirtualBox so I started fresh again and instead installed 'virtualbox-ose-additions'...I still get the same result.
Is anyone running Arch with KDE as a Guest under VirtualBox with Windows as a Host? Anyone else having this problem?
