Bug 213236: emulators/virtualbox-ose: VirtualBox 5.1.x interferes with fbpanel,
lxpanel, xfce4-panel
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=213236



--- Description ---
After the recent update by FreeBSD maintainers to VirtualBox version 5.1.x,
fbpanel, lxpanel, xfce4-panel and possibly others have problems with
right-clicking their task manager buttons after a virtual machine is started
from the VirtualBox Manager.

Previous versions of VirtualBox (4.x.x and 5.0.x) did not have this problem.

How to reproduce this issue:
- - - -
* Start VirtualBox Manager

* Double-click virtual machine to start it

* After virtual machine starts, right-click on the virtual machine's task
manager button in fbpanel, lxpanel or xfce4-panel and the context menu does not
pop up.  

* Normal click another task bar button, then right-clicking works temporarily

* Exit (all) virtual machine(s)

* Right-clicking of task manager buttons works again in fbpanel, lxpanel and
xfce4-panel.

This problem does not seem to happen when only the VirtualBox Manager is
running.

VirtualBox version: 5.1.6 r110634 - (Qt5.6.1)
