    Hi,

    I've just installed the new beta (thanks - it's great !). I've noticed a couple of bugs :

    1. When using a custom screen resolution (1200x800) in fullscreen, the windows guest 'login' screen still seems to be at 800x600 (with black borders) but once you have logged in it switches to the custom resolution. I would have expected the custom resolution to be used for the 'login' screen as well.
    2. Using ctrl+alt to release focus in fullscreen mode causes fullscreen mode to be exited as well as loosing focus (I would have expected alt+enter to do this but not ctrl+alt). The unfortunate effect of this is you can't do fullscreen workspace switching on the desktop without parallels jumping back to windowed mode - it's quite fustrating.

    Host system - Ubuntu Dapper
    Guest system - Windows XP

    Rob,

    I think the Windows login section is a pretty special area that has "no vistors" at the gate.

    The fullscreen thing would be nice.

    Yes I believe you are right although it didn't have that behaviour in the 2.1 beta :)

    The fullscreen issue is my main concern as with XGL/AIGLX installed you can do the Mac like cube rotation to switch workspaces, seamlessly moving from WIndows to Linux and back again ...
