Hi, thanks, I have a question though, i have this problem too, i do not use two monitors, and it comes and goes, what I mean is that when it starts I simply switch to windows and continue using my other OS, until I start missing Linux again so I reboot into Ubuntu and if I am lucky enough the bug will be gone, but then after a few days of using Ubuntu continuously it starts again (Pretty crazy bug hu?) I tried your solution and it did not work, for me, I would really appreciate any sugestion and if you wanna take a look at it you are more than welcome to give it a shot, thanks in advance and congrats for the great site!!

I am seeing the same type of problem switching out of a VMWare player or VirtualBox Virtual guest OS back to the host OS. Your workaround described here works for this situation too. Many thanks for your work!
