It could also be that I somehow misconfigured Xorg when I was trying to get acceleration working (or perhaps this is how 3D acceleration is handled)? This may have something more to do with gnome than VBox, but I don't know much about how VBox handles switching between ttys. When I - F2, back to tty1, the mini-toolbar is missing. If I then - F3, I go to a normal getty login prompt on tty2, and I can see the mini-toolbar. However, if I - F1, I go back to tty0, and GDM, and I see the mini-toolbar. At this point, the mini-toolbar dissapears.

Now, however, on Fedora 23, when I login to GDM on tty0, a new Xorg/GNOME session spawns on tty1, and the terminal switches there. After logging in to the windows manager, the desktop manager *replaced* GDM on tty0, and your session continued from there.

I don't use graphical sessions a lot, but I seem to recall that when using them, tty0 is where GDM (the login screen) is displayed. I think it has something to do with how gnome is handling an X windows session. There's a bit more info than this though.
