** Description changed:

  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.

+ 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 a 64-bit guest. 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). – tbc0]
