I have a dual head setup on Kubuntu 9.04 (which means I am using 1.6) and I can't seem to type on
the second head. I have KDE running on 1 screen, but am not running a
window manager on the other screen - Only a virtualbox VM. I CAN move
my mouse between screens and manage windows using it, however, I cannot
get keyboard input to switch to this screen. It just keeps typing in
the last selected window on display :0.0. Is I am running the following
script at startup:<br>
<br>jshewey@jimmylinux:~$ cat /home/jshewey/.kde/Autostart/<div id=":zj" class="ii gt">compiz <br>#!/bin/bash<br><br>compiz.real --replace --ignore-desktop-hints --only-current-screen &<br>DISPLAY=":0.1" VBoxManage startvm 'Windows XP' -type gui<br>
<br>I did however try disabling compiz on both monitors to make sure
this wasn't influencing the situation and found that I still could not
type in the VM. I also tried starting an xterm window on display :0.1
using the command DISPLAY=":0.1" xterm and still cound not type on that
monitor, so the issue is not specific to the VM. <br>
