[Bug 177510] Re: Impossible to switch workspace when VirtualBox is opened
I have the official Sun Virtualbox installed for private use, but this should work for OSE with little or no modification. 1. Open CompizConfig Settings Manager. 2. Scroll to or select Window Managment. 3. Open the Window Rules options. 4. Add the following in the No ARGB Visuals box (without the quotes): "title=- Sun VirtualBox$" 5. Check the Enable Window Rules box if necessary. If there are already rules in this block, you should add an or pipe (|) before the title specification.

[Bug 177510] Re: Impossible to switch workspace when VirtualBox is opened
I believe that this bug is due to the fact that compiz or any other windows manager than metacity does not integrate as much as metacity with gnome, so VirtualBox can completely grab keys and even if compiz filter some special keys like "CTRL + ALT + Right arrow", it does not seem to gain any priority on VirtualBox. The proof is that if I initialize a transparent cube with "CTRL + ALT + Left button", the desktop is suddenly transparent and I see the faces of the cube... but the cube does not initialize. ( See screenshot, we can see the 5 faces of the "cube" through the transparent desktop. At this point, I should be able to turn a transparent and zoomed cube with my mouse but I only get a transparent desktop like one face of the cube ). ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Attachment added: "Partially initialized cube plugin" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12158583/Capture-1.png -- Impossible to switch workspace when VirtualBox is opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 177510] Re: Impossible to switch workspace when VirtualBox is opened
The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Hardy Heron. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the actively developed release. You can find out more about the development release at [WWW] http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ You can install Virtualbox on the LiveCD and load it with the VM image from your hard drive. ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- Impossible to switch workspace when VirtualBox is opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177510 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
