Description Will B 2016-10-06 06:06:38 UTC 
After the recent update by FreeBSD maintainers to VirtualBox version 5.1.x, fbpanel, lxpanel, xfce4-panel and possibly others have problems with right-clicking their task manager buttons after a virtual machine is started from the VirtualBox Manager.

Previous versions of VirtualBox (4.x.x and 5.0.x) did not have this problem.

How to reproduce this issue:
- - - -
* Start VirtualBox Manager

* Double-click virtual machine to start it

* After virtual machine starts, right-click on the virtual machine's task manager button in fbpanel, lxpanel or xfce4-panel and the context menu does not pop up.  

* Normal click another task bar button, then right-clicking works temporarily

* Exit (all) virtual machine(s)

* Right-clicking of task manager buttons works again in fbpanel, lxpanel and xfce4-panel.

This problem does not seem to happen when only the VirtualBox Manager is running.

VirtualBox version: 5.1.6 r110634 - (Qt5.6.1)

FreeBSD 10.3 - 64-bit

uname -a: FreeBSD will-freebsd 10.3-RELEASE-p7 FreeBSD 10.3-RELEASE-p7 #0: Thu Aug 11 18:38:15 UTC 2016     root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

Additional information:
I am running Fluxbox as my window manager, however I also tried this with xfce4-wm and the problem still exists.

We have version 5.2.4. Does the problem still exists or is  this is overcome by events.
