Just got around to testing camillo's fix and it works fine! For those who can't find the "Advanced Settings" tool, you may have to install package gnome-tweak-tool. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad

I seem to have found an alternative workaround. In gnome-tweaks (advanced settings) , under Desktop, choose "have file manager handle the desktop" to "off". It seems to me that this makes the invisible windows bug to disappear. The price, I guess, is that you do not have icons on the desktop an

I haven't had any problems with Unity on 11.04, only after upgrading to 11.10. I'll add this bug to the nautilus project as well. Is there a bug tracker or some problem reporting tool for VirtualBox that should be notified? ** Also affects: nautilus Importance: Undecided Status: New -

I think the key is that this seems to be related to a problem in how VirtualBox 4.1.4 works on a Mac to host a Unity guest. This is not a problem in my normal installation of Ubuntu. I don't know why it only appears to be affecting the Mac version of VirtualBox. However, I suspect that the nauti

Sorry to post yet again, but after further testing, it seems that, although the above works OK, there are still some other bugs that are likely to be part of the same problem: 1. The launcher will not always (almost never) reveal itself when there is a maximized window 2. The dashboard will somet

OK as a temporary workaround: Step 1: Login to Unity Step 2: type Alt-F2 (or fn-alt-F2 on a Mac) Step 3: type "killall nautilus" (without the ") and press enter (you will now be able to see windows, but don't open any nautilus windows) Step 4: install pcmanfm (or other file manager either from ter

More info (I typed too soon before) I can now confirm that typing "killall nautilus" will fix all application windows until a nautilus instance is loaded (eg opening the home folder). This will cause all other windows to become invisible again. However, retyping killall nautilus will fix again.
