Hi, I committed it on git, following upstream implementation of your patch
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/commit/?id=2f46d9df8407626f71590713c30de2b750b0473d
it will be part of the next upload (mostly for sure before zesty is
released)
** Changed in: virtualbox
Actually it's
[Desktop Entry]
Name=VirtualBox
...
Categories=Emulator;Utility;
Actions=Manager;
[Desktop Action Manager]
Name=Open Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager
Name[de]=Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager öffnen
Exec=VirtualBox

@David,
here you can see the Debian vbox file
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/tree/debian/virtualbox-qt.files/virtualbox.desktop
and here the upstream one
Actually, there is only need to add these lines to the
virtualbox.desktop file:
Actions=Manager;
[Desktop Action Manager]
Name=Open Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager
Name[de]=Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager öffnen
Exec=VirtualBox
Next step for me will be to try to create a pull request about that.

Actually you can run it from the shell to see the window reappear
