Mouse control - Ubuntu w/Win 7 guest

In Ubuntu I run multiple desktops/workspaces (4). I am running Win 7 (guest) in virtual box, full screen, in the lower right (4th) workspace. It is really cool. I normally bump the lower right corner of my workspace to initiate workspace switching, where it pulls back to show all 4 desktops. After a reboot of Ubuntu, I lost the ability to bump the lower right corner when I am in the Win 7 workspace. I created a shortcut button to do the same thing, but I may have to hit the "host" button, to release the keyboard, to get it to work. Anyway it was much easier to just bump the bottom right regardless of if I am looking at Ubuntu or win 7. I assume it has something to do with binding the mouse. I also could hit "host" F to get out of full screen mode and then switch.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Brad

I set up button 2 (mouse wheel click) to initiate and it works. Probably just use that.

Thanks,

Now after another reboot it is working again.
