Is anyone else testing in VirtualBox? F17 is quite well behaved in
4.1.20, but in F18 I'm having windows yanked out from under me
constantly. I'm switched to Overview (as if I've clicked on
Activities) just by moving the mouse while not clicking on anything.

As Anaconda hub produces additional windows for its various steps
(like partitioning), if this erratic switch to Gnome Overview mode
happens, the anaconda child window is totally lost. I can't find a way
to get back to it, as it's not visible in Overview, just the original
Anaconda "hub" window is visible, and because it has a child window
waiting for completion I can't actually use the "hub" window at all,
all options are grayed out except Quit - but clicking Quit does
nothing.

The mouse arrow is also extremely erratic: mousing upward randomly
causes the mouse to vanish and shift 10-15% to the left (always left),
while the GUI behaves as if I'm clicking on Activities then clicking
on an application window in Overview, then back on Activities… even
though I'm not clicking on anything.

Ahhh, if I click on Activities, then click-hold on the Install to
Hard Drive icon, I get a contextual menu with two anaconda options.
Choosing one gets me to the "hub" and choosing the other gets me back
to the MIA child (partitioning in this case) window. Crisis averted.

Something similar is also happening in KVM, FWIW. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=856242 . https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=852841 might be the earliest report, and suggests downgrading xorg can fix it. We should check if that fixes it for KVM and VBox too...
