I have been googling, but haven't found a solution.

There are several bug reports on Virtualbox relating to Gnome, but none had
anything to do with this issue.

There are more bug reports on Gnome relating to window managers and/or
gnome-panel not starting, but none had anything to do with Virtualbox.

I need to find out what exactly happens when the user hits Enter after entering
the username and password on the GDM login screen. Something must be called
upon to start the Gnome session. And that something must have a configuration
file somewhere. Does anyone know how this works?

It may be possible to resolve the issue by closing all open applications, with
metacity and gnome-panel running, then save the current session. How does one
save the current session?
