Public bug reported:

As soon as I install virtualbox-guest-x11 in a ubuntu 17.10 vbox guest
VM, I can't run anymore gnome-control-center. It just doesn't launch
anymore.

Then if I logout, I can't login anymore.
Then if I try to reboot, the VM does not boot properly and get stuck at trying 
to launch GDM. (starting GDM service...)

That package should b considered harmfull,as it renders a VM unusable
(until fixed ?)

This has been reproduced and repeated.
