Yes, that's right; I mentioned earlier that vboxmouse doesn't pass the
click events and has to be replaced with ws. I only didn't figure out
which driver came from where, so all is good.

One more data point, in case it is of interest; lately (even before
installing the additions to this vbox guest vm), the audio driver
started causing problems - it basically freezes the VirtualBox process
under Windows, the only thing one can do it is kill it and restart the
vm. This is when using ICH AC97 emulation; on the client side, just
using mocp or musicd. The sound was also rather harsh, if I can
describe it so. Switching to Intel HD Audio emulation cures both
problems for me.
