I usually exclusively use vboxmanage and the vbox web-service (through 
phpVirtualbox), but out of interest to your problem yesterday I ran a X 
server on my system and ran the Virtualbox GUI (v.4.2.20) on my server, 
it seemed to show all my servers running OK etc... I didn't try to 
interact with them, but it didn't seg-fault. I sometimes also use VRDE 
bound to localhost 127.0.0.1 as well...
