+== VirtualBox GUI over SSH
+
+There is a know issue with the latest version of VirtualBox GUI when accessing it via a SHH connection.
+
+   * [http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8175 GUI is very slow when running it via an ssh tunnel]
+
+This bug makes it almost impossible to use the full VirtualBox GUI via a remote connection.
+It takes several minutes to display a simple pop-up dialogue box.
+
+{{{
+ssh -X root@briccs-1.rcs.le.ac.uk
+
+    briccs-1:~ # VirtualBox
+}}}
+
+The bug only affects the main VirtualBox GUI, so the simpler per-vm GUI is still usable.

+ssh -X root@briccs-1.rcs.le.ac.uk
