There is no 98vboxadd-xclient in my gentoo guest system. So I run
vboxadd-xclient within .xinitrc. However I also have tried from an xterm
and here is the result

Unable to connect to the host system.
Failed to connect to the host system.

Don't know where to go from here. Are there options when running
/usr/bin/vboxadd-xclient?

Sorry I confused you. My host is a Windows XP. The guest addition is
certainly from vbox-1.6
