Wait for UI to pop up, click on 'Settings' for any virtual host, =
VirtualBox crashes with:

(remote) in this case has been (so far):

Please re-read what I said.  The host machine (running the virtualboxes) =
has NO graphics of any kind.  It's FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE/amd64 hooked up to =
a VT320 terminal as a serial console.  It has X11 libraries and the =
various toolkits (QT etc) installed, but no Xorg server (other than =
Xvnc), no X11 drivers (graphics/keyboard/mouse).

3.2.8 was fine
3.2.8_1 broke things
3.2.10 (unsurprisingly) hasn't changed
