i am having the same problem when i start screen sharing in skype all the windows disappear and i can see only the background wallpaper with a red outline around it.
when i press the windows key i can see the Activities Overview but when i select a window it doesn't show up just the background wallpaper is visible. i dont know if its related but when i disable "let file manager handle desktop" in gnome-tweak-tool and try taking screenshot the image shows only the wallpaper. i am a newbie to linux and i want to help with whatever info you need with this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/879895 Title: skype screen sharing problem when using gnome shell in ubuntu 11.10 oneiric ocelot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/879895/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
