Hide popup menu in full screen guest

Post by miakayuuki »

Greetings All,

I am looking for a way to hide the popup menu that exists at the bottom of the screen for a full screen guest. I have installed Edubuntu into a guest to allow my son to have some good simple games to play and not worry about him messing anything up (How I love snapshots and rollbacks), when he uses it I set the guest OS to full screen to keep him out of my system, but he does accidentally click that popup menu at the bottom of the screen which can get him access to all kinds of things that might cause issues.

I really have no need for that popup menu, and an more than happy to do a Host + F to get out or to a menu if needed.

Any assistance would be appreciated. And as a side note to the Devs, keep up the great work.
