Hello Bugtracker-Team I have a problem since the last update with the refreshing of the desktop on my guest. That means that I can "draw" something on the screen with my open windows. Printscreen should explain...

Same problem here with WinXP Pro 32bit host and Ubuntu 12.04 32bit guest.

My workaround is to refresh my desktop every 3 seconds or so by running a vbscript on my host.

Dim w 

w = 3000 '3 seconds

Do While True
	WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "%windir%\System32\RUNDLL32.EXE user32.dll,UpdatePerUserSystemParameters", 7, True
    Wscript.Sleep wartezeit 
Loop 

Wscript.Quit

However, every time the rundll32.exe is executed, the mouse pointer changes to hourglass for a brief moment; so this is not really a solution for the problem.
