Title:
  dash not accessible when using virtualbox seamless mode

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 13.10 there is an issue that causes the dash to become
  inaccessible when using virtualbox in seamless mode. Also affects HUD
  (but I don't use it so can't say much on that).

  Reproducable: Yes

  How to reproduce the problem: 
  Open a VM in seamless mode on one of the workspaces. Switch to another workspace. Try to access the dash (either with mouse click or super key). The result is that the dash will briefly appear (millisecond) and then disappear rendering it inaccesible. 

  Workaround: While in a desktop workspace (not the VM) click on super+s
  to open expo and then click super+s again to go back to the ubuntu
  desktop. Now you should be able to access the dash.

  I've tested this on the standard 3.11 kernel as well as the 3.12rc
  kernels with the same result. At least one other perosn has the same
  issue based on a discussion in the ubuntu forums.
