Hello,
New to Ubuntu, I search the forum and internet about this problem but couldn't find any thing that solves it. So decided to post...
Hardware & Soft:
Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 LTS
Memory 19.5 GB
Intel® Core i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz × 8
Intel® Sandybridge Mobile
os 64-bit
I have installed virtualbox recently and experiments on 2-3 VMs. And my problem is very simple and could be hilarious if I wasn't really stucked.
My main virtualbox windows is stucked all the time on minimize mode.
Alt+Tab gives me a way to try switching to the application but the window doesn't displays.
What I have already tried:
This code works well with windows such as the ones of a file manager for instance.
Another track was trying to understand the signification of the -1 in
I learned that it means the windows is sticky and the fact that I can manipulate other windows without problem (the all bear 0 in the list of open windows) seems like a clue...but I lack knowledge in System to benefit from any information about this.
I somebody could be of anyhelp
Note: I currently double click on the VM main file (/home/samuel/VirtualBox VMs/Hortonworks Sandbox with HDP 2.4/Hortonworks Sandbox with HDP 2.4.vbox for instance) to start it so it give me access to currently installed VMs but it still not gives me access to the main virtualbox application and incidently prevent me from installing/de-installing new VMs.
Many thanks to you all

What I have already tried:
- right click on the minimized icon (on top left corner next to Activities) but it just proposed "Quit" which works but doesn't propose anything such as maximize
- any shortcut possible related to maximizing a windows from Activities > Settings > Keyboard > Shortucut
- some code in the terminal such as below that I have found in some blogs and forums
