I upgraded Qt to 4.7 beta 1, and menubar is visible! I think, there is a mistake in backporting (original maverick package requires qt 4.7).

This is probably a bug in Qt that has been fixed in 4.7.

Very strange. I marked it as affecting qt4-x11 (as Felix Geyer said), but I think it's a Virtualbox issue. Does anybody else think it's for Qt?

Eris23, does it work with Qt 4.7 beta 2?
For me, it works with virtualbox-ose-qt 3.2.4-dfsg-1ubuntu1~ppa1~lucid1.1 & libqtcore4 4:4.7.0~beta2-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1

I switched to virtualbox-3.2 3.2.6-63112~Ubuntu~lucid a while ago to see if that solved the problem, but I had the same problem with the non-free version as the OSE version until I upgraded the libqt4 stuff. Currently running libqt4-core version: 4:4.7.0~beta2-0ubuntu1. With that, it works.

So if it didn't work with 4:4.7.0~beta1-0ubuntu2 and works with 4:4.7.0~beta2-0ubuntu1, it's really a Qt bug.
By the way, Felix has a ppa for the latest virtualbox-ose (ppa:debfx/virtualbox), so you don't need to use non-free version :)

virtualbox-ose 3.2.6-dfsg-2ubuntu1~ppa1 works fine. Is there a 3.2.6 virtualbox-guest-additions available?
