Hi, there,
I like using alt + tab to switch between windows both on xubuntu9.04 and on windows XP,
however, the problem is that I can not get back to xubuntu when get in windows XP guest
via alt + tab. I want alt + tab works as mouse integration does.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks!
Miles

I tried and it works if you click on the host window to get focus the host alt + tab works in the host. Then I clicked on the guest window to get focus and alt + tab worked in the guest.
I know of no other way to get this to work.

Only way to do this is to hit the Host key (right ctrl by default) before alt-tabbing out of the VM.
