Seamless: Host not displayed if no guest window active

[mgiacchetti]

when using vbox in ubuntu hardy 8.04 64 host, windows guest i press ctrl+l and it goes to seamless mode.

If there is a window open in my vbox, everything works fine. but if there is no window open in vbox, (everything minimized or closed) it wont render my ubuntu desktop at all.. all that is there is a bunch of vertical lines, and sometimes dots.

The taskbar remains at the bottom of the screen, and when i switch workspaces the others are fine, except the one that VB is runnin on.

Confirmed in Ubuntu hardy 32 bit as well.

Should have added that I'm using 1.6.2 on Kubuntu 8.04 32 bit edition.

Is this a duplicate of #820 ? If you're using Compiz it probably is.
