    I'm using Parallels with Ubuntu Dapper and XGL/Compiz (on an Intel 915 Chipset). I've now fixed the transparency issue with XGL (using one of the other posts in the forum) and I can happily run Parallels fullscreen in XGL.

    When I use CTRL+ALT to release the mouse/keyboard under parallels, it also releases full screen mode and puts Parallels in window mode again.

    Is there any way to release the mouse/Keyboard but leave Parallels in full screen display mode as this would allow me to switch between a full screen Parallels guest in one workspace to a linux desktop in another workspace (ala the Mac version I would guess). This way I can 'spin my cube' desktop from windows to Linux really easily ....

    Is this possible atm ? and if not could it be added as a feature request for the Linux version -> the resultant eye candy would be beautiful !

    Thanks,

    Rob

    Thanks for suggesting! We will discuss this feature internally.
