Fedora 9 seamless mode problem

Post by mashern »

I am running on Fedora 9 and XP as a guest. Seamless mode works only if there is at least one window opened in XP.

That is one of the requirements. You might fill in a bug report. See the Forum FAQ to see how. First check if there already is one.

That's possible. I have it sometimes working without a window open, but mostly when I switch to seamless when no window is open, it will give me a black background as if it's in full screen mode.
