 Severity: important 
  
 Hello, 
  
 Testing the guest additions in Wayland, I've noticed that VBoxClient 
 isn't loaded with the desktop. In X11, VBoxClient is initialized via 
 the file `/etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient`, but that's a folder 
 only X11 uses, so Wayland doesn't initialize VBoxClient after login. 
  
 Installing the utils from the "guest utils CD", I've noticed that it 
 solves it by installing the autostart file from 
 `/src/VBox/Additions/x11/Installer/vboxclient.desktop` into 
 `/etc/xdg/autostart`, which runs `Exec=/usr/bin/VBoxClient-all` 
 (VBoxClient-all is just a link to `98vboxadd-xclient`). 
  
 With the autostart approach, the guest additions work out of the box in 
 both X11 and Wayland. Maybe the file `98vboxadd-xclient` should be 
 moved somewhere else to avoid loading it twice in X11 once the 
 autostart file is in place. 
  
 Best regards, 
 Daniel
