Taskbar not visible iun seamless mode

Post by Florie »

Hi,

when i turn my Win XP Home guest into seamless mode (with new guest additions) I can not see the taskbar. It is covered by the bar from Ubuntu which is the host system. When I move the Windwos taskbar on top of the screen it works fine, but I would like to have it right on the bottom just like you can see it in the virtualbox doc.

Hope you have a hint for me. :P

Maybe you can adjust the Taskbar thru its properties in WinXP: Lock the taskbar, Keep the taskbar on top.. etc.

As a workaround, you could move the Ubuntu panel to the top of the screen, or set it to autohide. Out of curiosity, do you have Beryl running? How does it work with Beryl enabled/disabled?
