Were you trying to run guest additions on the host?
Gentoo is a main machine; Windows is running in VirtualBox on Gentoo Host.
So the package "app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions"
I think it installs some additional enhancement in Windows VM.
I might be related to "app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions"
Unmerging this package solved the problem, no more pop-up at login.

Guest Additions
To install the Guest Additions, invoke the following command on the
Gentoo guest system:
root #emerge --ask app-emulation/virtualbox-guest-additions
You do not install Gentoo virtualbox-guest-additions on the Gentoo
host.
No, I stared Windows VM and installed virtualbox-guest-additions in there; it
installed OK
The the error message I was getting
"VboxClient: the virtualbox kernel service is not running. Exiting"
was when I log into XFCE desktop, the above masses just pop-up for about 4-sec.
and it dissipated.
Where were no errors starting Windows-VM, it is just annoying message pop-up;
never seen it before.
