Title:
Seamless Mode Not Working Correctly in Virtual Box

Bug description:
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.
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 both 32-bit and 64-bit guests.
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). I was
using vbox 4.1.14r77440 and matching Guest Additions. I upgraded to
4.1.16-78094 vbox+additions. Still a problem. And I filed launchpad
bug 999929 to see if I can get feedback from developers. – tbc0]
