[SailfishDevel] Funny display in Sailfish Emulator

[E.S. Rosenberg]

You're running a "desktop hypervisor" inside of a "desktop hypervisor" and
you're surprised it messes up?
Even on proper hypervisors (ESXi, Linux KVM, Xen) that's not recommended
(however running a desktop hypervisor inside of them is possible).

'desktop' hypervisor - VirtualBox, VMware Player, Parallels.

> * In that VirtualBox, one Windows 10 Technical Preview VM, running latest
> said version with all updates, 32 GB HDD, 3 GB RAM - a.k.a. "guest"
> * In "guest", everything needed for Sailfish development installed,
> configured & running, with latest versions (i.e. VirtualBox 4.3.2 w/
