+i had a pretty terrible experience too, but then i was using vbox3.
+
+at first i was happy that vbox3 worked, then not so happy when it seemed not to 
+work well...
+
+also, i think that there could be more people testing on kvm.
+
+but this thread should give a fairly good indication on how good this actually 
+works.
+
+(btw: you have to reboot your host and client to see this happening)
+
+i had to retry 3 times a new installation because of freezes...
+
+maybe the OP could specify a few things on how exactly what happens when doing 
+what?
