I have it as the last entry in my cc_config.xml. I looked at the wiki, but couldn't find an explanation. Maybe I missed something...

<vbox_window>0</vbox_window>

I've got one of those too, so I set it to 1 to see what happened. This happened:

09/05/2015 18:53:20 | | Config: open console window for VirtualBox applications

But the console window didn't open. Maybe in an hour, when the next VBox task starts up...

Edit - I found

    if (aid.vbox_window || boinc_is_standalone()) {
        vboxlog_msg("Detected: Headless Mode Disabled");

Yes, the next VBox task started in full interactive mode under VirtualBox.exe, rather than the usual VBoxHeadless.exe. So that's what it does.

And I've added it to Client configuration
