Public bug reported:

Note: I *think* this used to happened when I used Ubuntu as the host as
well. Though I never tested the workaround with that combination.

1. Macos (El Capitan) host, Ubuntu running XFCE guest with xscreensaver
configured as the screensaver

2. Lock Macos host (Cmd-Shift-Power Off)

3. Leave long enough for the guest's xscreensaver to kick in

4. Virtualbox reports about 150% cpu in the MacOS Task Manager.

5. After careful experimentation, I discovered that this was due
xscreensaver kicking in when I had been away

Tip: You can short-circuit steps 2 and 3 by running "xscreensaver-
command -activate" in the guest OS.
