Reinstall Parallels Tools. First thing I did was to reinstall. I thought there might be a glitch with an graphics driver. Also, if I look into "Additional Drivers" I have parallels toolgate driver active and in use.
Several times. Tried going to Gnome Classic and than back.
Yup. No changes.
BTW: many thanks for your help!
EDIT: OK, I've got it! Since I did a complete new installation of Natty, after update of PT6, it didn't have any saved configurations of Gnome. I reinstalled Parallels Tools twice. I followed your advice and failed. I wrote my post here telling you the status. I didn't know what else to do.
In the meantime I started to play with Gnome 3. I copied my Natty install and installed Gnome 3 there. After the restart I had Ubuntu Classic and the message "your system is apparently not equipped for Gnome 3. Accelerated graphics might be missing" or some such. And I knew I have PT installed! But I always did an upgrade. So, I uninstalled PT and, after a reboot, installed them again. Rebooted and - voila! I had Gnome 3 up and running!
So, I went back to my original Natty VM, uninstalled the PT there as well, rebooted, installed PT, rebooted and I had Unity up and running.
So, now all is fine. Go figure!
THX anyway!
