3.The Mini-toolbar and ctrl+home menu is invisible when running full screen with a 3D accelerated desktop like Unity or Windows 7 Aero ==> Fixed in SVN

[temp4746]

The Mini-toolbar and ctrl+home menu is invisible when running full screen with a 3D accelerated desktop like Unity or Windows 7 Aero.

VirtualBox 4.1.4

Guest Additions 4.1.4 installed

Ubuntu 11.04 Up-to-date no extra packages other than the guest additions from the guest additions .iso installed. ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 (Driver version 11.9)

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Intel VT-x enabled Core i3 proccessor (4 cores cores reported, I think it's 2 hyperthreaded to 4) 1 GB ram allocated to guest 2 CPU Guest SMP 8GB .vdi

This issue is caused by ATI drivers bug.
To make a proper work-around, I need to ensure your behavior is similar to what I'm seeing here:
Does the issue goes away when VM window becomes inactive? E.g. while having VM window active & displayed, press <ctrl>+<alt>+<del> (which should be propagated to host, and not propagated to guest), and select "Start Task Manager" in a host popup window.
This should start task manager, make its window active, and VM window inactive.
Is it correct that the issue goes away until VM window becomes active again?

The following test build should solve the problem:

There is no need to update guest additions, i.e. only host VBox installations needs to be updated.
Please give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.1.8.

I'm still seeing this on a fresh VirtualBox 4.1.14 install. I have a Windows 7 64-bit host and a clean Ubuntu 12.04 guest install with only DKMS and the 4.1.14 guest additions installed. Disabling 3d acceleration lets me see and use the mini-bar.
