Hi guys,

I have installed VirtualBox on a server with Ubuntu 8.04.1.
Through my MacBook, I ssh to the server using the X forward in order to run VirtualBox through the command line.
I run 'VirtualBox' and the process runs successfully.
On the VirtualBox window, I select one of my three virtual machines (all Ubuntu) that are already running and click Show.
The window for the machine does not open and in my terminal i receive the following message:
admin@server:~$ VirtualBox
Qt WARNING: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 7 (X_ReparentWindow)
Resource id: 0x44
Qt WARNING: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 7 (X_ReparentWindow)

Qt WARNING: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3

Resource id: 0x36000e3
Qt WARNING: X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
Major opcode: 12 (X_ReparentWindow)
Resource id: 0x36000e3

When i exit the VirtualBox window i get:
Locking assertion failure. Backtrace:

Need to mention that i can access my virtual machines directly through VNC, from my Mac.
It looks like an X window issue and i believe it's on the machine that the VirtualBox is installed.

Any ideas?
Cheers
