    I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 in Parallels 5 using the assisted install on a MacBook. Everything works fine except that pressing the Control key and clicking doesn't cause a right-click. As far as I can tell, there is no way to right-click from the MacBook. Which Parallels or Ubuntu settings do I need to change?

    Shift-Ctrl?

    Yes, thank you! Is this documented anywhere?

    Although you have found a fix, I would strongly recommend investing in a three (or more) button mouse. It works seamlessly on all platforms, including of course OS X, which Apple for some reason have not until recently been keen to advertise.
