Adam Smith, if you install the package virtualbox-guest-x11 in your
virtualbox guest does this address the issue for you?

Title:
  Screen is larger than monitor on virtualbox

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ran a dist-upgrade on Trusty today on both my physical and virtual
  hardware.  Suddenly on my VM noticed that the display is ~100% larger
  than the visible area.  Physical machine runs fine.

  Did a clean install in a new VM, everything looked OK on initial boot,
  but on reboot the same problem occured

  (ONLY ran the following commands before reboot:
  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
  sudo apt-add-repository ppa:autopilot/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libautopilot-qt python-autopilot zsh vim openssh-client bzr python-gtk python-glade2) 

  Running xrandr gives output: "failed to get size of gamma for output
  default"

  LSHW:
