Title:
  Full screen between xorg and VMWare-Workstation

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a minor bug that seems to be a conflict between xorg and
  VMWare Workstation 9 in Ubuntu 14.04. It seems most noticeable and
  prevalent with dual monitors. This issue was not present in 12.04. The
  taskbar at the top of the screen that is always present seems to give
  issues with full screen VMWare. In 12.04, it would stay at the top for
  a bit and then go away if you clicked anywhere in the full screen
  window. With 14.04, it doesn't show up at all anymore but it is still
  "there". It is a ghost of it and then will be a selectable option. If
  you click in the full screen window anywhere, the taskbar does not
  show at the top, but it is still selectable as an option. The "focus"
  does not go to the full screen. You can do things in there as long as
  the thing you are trying to do doesn't reside at the top of the screen
  where it would be the taskbar. Once you select the "top of the screen
  where the taskbar should be, this makes the VMWare window the active
  window in xorg, it then goes on top of the taskbar again. This is a
  major inconvenience bug because when you try to select anything in the
  top right while the taskbar is still "on top" of the full screen
  without appearing to be on top, it will select either the calendar or
  power settings or anything up in the top right.

  Attached are screenshots as the process happens.

  Step 1. Click on the screen which ISN'T FULL SCREEN VMWARE.
  Step 2. Click anywhere in full screen VMWare window except top where taskbar resides. Taskbar is hidden but still "on top".
  Step 3. Click where taskbar is in right corner and it will overtake the full screen window. You can select date, power, english, etc..
  Step 4. Click anywhere else at very top of screen, taskbar will then go away and VMWare fullscreen will work properly.

  EDIT: Apparently I have been calling the bar at the top the wrong
  name. It's MenuBar. The Ubuntu MenuBar is not playing well with
  fullscreen VMWare Workstation. It also doesn't show up for using File,
  Edit, etc...
