Fixed it by re-installing guest addittions. This also fixed the seamless mode not working anymore.

(re)installing Guest Additions:
- click the Devices menu (While the Virtual Machine is running)
- select 'Install Guest Additions' (let it autorun)
- reboot virtual os

If it doesn't autorun, you can use the following command that doesn't need the additions "cd" mounted:

sudo /etc/init.d/vboxadd setup

You need to do this after kernel updates.
