I like to use unity, but sometimes need to switch back. I have attempted to comb the forums for other posts and have not found similar reports - is this unique to me?
When I switch back my single window view is of a black screen. If I suspend, the suspend window fades from black to a real desktop! When I start back up I am again at a black screen. I cannot use the guest in this "black screen" mode. I believe only stopping and starting the guest gets me out of this problem state. The guest does appear to be running - when I stop it, I get the windows shutdown type sound...

On dual-monitor host systems, when you switch from Unity view to Full Screen view, virtual machines displayed on the secondary monitor do not have the correct screen resolution.
To work around this problem, switch to Single Window view, and then switch to Full Screen view.

I am on a single screen. I was just running in single window. I switched to unity, which worked great, switched back to single screen - black screen instead usable screen. I switched between full and single screen numerous times - I can't get back to single window it seems.
OK, after suspending/unsuspending this time (after the full screen attempt) my single window screen does work. AND, unity->single screen just worked several times in a row (for the first time)
I do _have_ a large second screen which I sometimes use - maybe there is residual state from that? I can switch back and forth now though, so thank you.
