           Summary: KWin gets confused when activating Virtualbox seamless
                    mode
           Product: kwin
           Version: 4.2.4
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwin@kde.org
        ReportedBy: nuorama@gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When activating VirtualBox seamless mode KWin may get very confused. While
there may be also VirtualBox bugs, KWin gets to draw only the shadow of a
window.

How to get in situation in the picture:
-In a dual monitor setup, start VirtualBox on the second monitor. Start a
virtual machine (Windows was here)
-In the virtual machine-s menu (VirtualBox menu, not gues OS menu) select
Machine->Seamless mode.
-Now you should have a screen that is a random (?) mix of white, shadows, guest
os and normal KWin windows.
-Give focus to the virtual machine and Press Host + L (Right control + L) to
exit seamless mode.
-Now you should be in the situation in the picture. From the panel in the menu
you can resize the window (its shadow), move it or send close signal, but never
get it back.
