Bug opened not just to indicate problem with "Super" key. Homebutton is still there, it's just disabled by default. Just invoke: dconf write /com/canonical/unity-2d/panel/applets "['homebutton', 'appname', '!legacytray', 'indicator']"
** Summary changed: - Super interpreted by the launcher in both host and guest in a virtual session (NX/VNC/VBox) + there is no practical way to start/switch applications, menus and tasks in virtual session (VNC/NX/SYNERGY/VIRTUALBOX) ** Description changed: There is no practical way to start/switch tasks in virtual session (VNC/NX/SYNERGY/VIRTUALBOX). Activating launcher, by reaching edge, is almost impossible. + "Super" key ussually interpreted by both Host and guest systems. Using homebutton could be a solution, but in recent releases homebutton functionality is partially broken. After few activations of launcher, launcher do not hide anymore covering part of the screen.
