GNOME Shell under VirtualBox

[Michael Thayer <michael thayer oracle com>]

Hello,

I am currently trying to work out why GNOME Shell from Fedora 23 hangs 
before reaching the desktop when I start it under VirtualBox with 3D 
pass-through enabled.  I am guessing that we implement something wrong, 
or do not implement something that GNOME Shell needs, but I would love 
some clues as to how I can identify what that is.  When I log the OpenGL 
commands we pass through it is a very long list (well over 100000 
entries), too long to go through without an idea what to look for.  It 
keeps on sending commands until at some point after several minutes it 
gives up and exits.

Clearly debugging this via ssh is not a problem in this set-up.  I am 
more than happy to provide additional feedback (I did not want to create 
an entry in your bug tracker as it is most likely a problem on our side).

Thanks.

Regards,

Michael
