I'm running Fedora Linux 16 as guest system, inside a Windows/VirtualBox host. After install the provided add-ons, only 1024x768 screen resolution displays properly; when I try to increase it, I cannot see my Gnome bottom bar... how can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Probably more suitable to Superuser. – Bart Silverstrim Jan 31 '12 at 13:38

Use xrandr to modify screen size among other things.
Modify /etc/gdm/Init/Default and add the following:
Locate:
PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH
OLD_IFS=$IFS
Add:
xrandr --newmode "1024x768" 70.00 1024 1072 1176 1328 768 771 775 798 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA1 1024x768_60.00
xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768
... or whatever resolution your screen can handle. More details can be found here and here
