Using SPICE from virt-manager and selecting View -> Fullscreen, the menu bar is still displayed, shifting the display downward. Fedora 15 spice-gtk-0.5-6.fc15.x86_64 libvirt-0.8.8-4.fc15.x86_64 virt-manager-0.8.7-4.fc15.noarch Anyone know of a workaround?

When switching to fullscreen, the toolbar disappears. However it does not reappear, when moving the pointer to the top. Anything I am doing wrong?

One problem was that the screen on my monitor was not adjusted properly, so the one pixel row at the top was invisible. Also, when moving the pointer towards the top, I accidentally missed the small area in the middle. I had assumed that the toolbar would have screen width. Anyway, monitor is adjusted and it works now .. very cool indeed. Another observation: if the guest is not running and I make the console fullscreen, the little toolbar does not seem to be there at all.

And ... it would be nice if one could somehow easily switch between running VMs via this toolbar.

Might be a question for a UX designer.
