SMPlayer Problems. Could not see actual GUI?

So I've got a problem with playing .mkv files in smplayer(or in any video file for that matter). I've recently pacman -Syu, and tried repeatedly reinstalling it to no avail.
I cannot really describe it with words so here's a screenshot of the actual problem:

(forum url tags seem to not work for me)

Mplayer and gnome mplayer works perfectly, so smplayer is the only one that has a problem.

I'm using Arch on VirtualBox  4.3.20 on a Windows host with 3D acceleration enabled and max amount of video memory allocated to it(128 mb).
Done my homework only to find nothing that is similar to my problem.

I haven't used smplayer in awhile but try to right click and see if popup menu shows?  Or try cntrl + c ?

Can't really right click on anything, and I can only close it using the lxdm task manager.

Re: SMPlayer Problems. Could not see actual GUI?

If you start smplayer with no video, do you see the gui?
Try to reset settings by running:

rm -r .config/smplayer/

And try do start the default gui:

smplayer -defaultgui
