Ah, VirtualBox, that could explain it, at least for the guests. If Alt+click is intercepted by the host's window manager, VirtualBox guests don't get to see those events. You would have to make sure that both WMs use different mouse_modifiers.
For example, keep the guests at the default <Alt> and on the host run gconftool-2 -s /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier -t string "<Super>" Host at default and "<Ctrl>" for the guests appears to work too. Anyway, Alt+drag was just meant to be a band-aid. The latest Onboard has window decoration disabled by default (by coincidence), which makes it harder to maximize in the first place. If you'd like to try it, Oneiric proposed has a slightly outdated version, testers welcome. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/859288 Title: full-screen onboard keyboard commandeers entire desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/onboard/+bug/859288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
