I think the bug is in Nautilus, but the search field says there are too
many matches. I'm making a naïve guess, anyway. Maybe it's in
VirtualBox, which would be nice to get narrowed down.

Enclosed is the text at  http://askubuntu.com/questions/136397/seamless-
mode-not-working-correctly-in-virtual-box – three of us are seeing this
issue, so I decided it's time to file a bug. Plus, as a fan of Ubuntu,
I'm concerned that Giovanni said, "This problem, together with the bad
feeling I have with Unity, will probably force me to try other
distributions, like Mint."

I run Ubuntu Desktop in a VirtualBox seamless mode, hosted on Windows 7. I 
recently upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and seamless mode no longer works 
correctly. I have re-installed guest extensions.

The problem is that the Ubuntu desktop wallpaper is shown, effectively
blocking the Windows desktop. I can bring Windows apps to the
foreground, but as soon as I bring any Ubuntu window to the foreground,
all the windows apps will disappear, hidden by the ubuntu desktop even
if I activated an Ubuntu window in a different monitor. So, it is not
very much different from full-screen mode at this time.

I suspect if I could turn off the Ubuntu desktop or wallpaper this would
be a sufficient workaround (this is basically what Seamless mode is) but
that does not seem to be possible within Ubuntu itself.

[Jeremy doesn't specify system config, but I can confirm I'm seeing this
behavior in Win 7 64-bit with both 32-bit and 64-bit guests. Giovanni
sees the same thing on his laptop running Vista Ultimate 64 bit after
upgrading his 32-bit guest to 12.04 (forums.virtualbox.org p225407,
requires logging in with your free Oracle account). I was using vbox
4.1.14r77440 and matching Guest Additions. I upgraded to 4.1.16-78094
vbox+additions. Still a problem. And I filed launchpad bug 999929 to see
if I can get feedback from developers. – tbc0]

Any other ideas?
