Public bug reported:

I run Ubuntu Xenial as a virtualbox guest on a Windows 10 host.  This
morning, after rebooting the guest, I found that X was failing to start
up.  (Rebooted several times to confirm this.)  I reviewed the packages
that changed yesterday and found that they included upgrading
virtualbox-guest-{dkms,utils,x11} from 5.0.16-dfsg-2 to 5.0.16-dfsg-3.

So then I manually downloaded the .debs for 5.0.16-dfsg-2, and installed
those using 'dpkg -i'.  Then rebooted, and X starts correctly again.

Apparent conclusion: X start up was broken by the the upgrade from
5.0.16-dfsg-2 to 5.0.16-dfsg-3.
