Installing virtualbox guest additions - No X-11

OK, so I took the plunge (again) and [re]started with Arch.

I have it right now as a virtualbox guest, but the screen is the size of a key hole.

I followed the steps on the wiki here and I encountered a curve ball when it came to setting the values in ~/.xinitrc.

The file is now there.  I had to manually create it as I do not have (or want) any non-terminal applications on this VM.

However, when I run " ps ax | grep -i vbox ", the services VBoxClient --display | seamless | draganddrop are not running until I manually start VBoxClient-all.  VBoxService -f is running, seemingly without any issues.

How can I fix this so that /usr/bin/VBoxClient-all (the same line now in the .xinitrc) would run at boot?

TIA
