RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Normally when using fullscreen in virt-manager, a little menu appears when the mouse is placed in the top centre of the screen.
When using compiz, the menu never pops up so you can not leave fullscreen mode.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-18.el6.x86_64
compiz-0.8.2-24.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
Every time. Turn off compiz (system -> preferences -> desktop effects) and it works. Turn on compiz and is stops working.
It does not matter if the vm is using spice or vnc.

The bug seems to be caused by compiz that creates an invisible border to wrap the screen in order to detect some events. Doing so, it inhibits virt-manager to receive events that happen on the border around the screen.
If my analysis is correct we can either:
1) fix the problem in compiz
2) workaround it in virt-manager to use a bigger button (I have tried to make the toolbar 3 pixels and it works) -- but the cost is also a bigger and uglier toolbar.
I personally would prefer to see a fix, or at least investigate it so I am reassigning the ticket to "compiz".
I have tried to reproduce the same problem with an upstream version of compiz (revno: 3789) and I couldn't hit the problem, this convinces me even more to give a try to fix it in compiz.
These are the steps I've followed, let me know if I've done something wrong.
$ bzr branch lp:compiz
$ mkdir compiz/build
$ cd compiz/build
$ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/tmp
$ make -jN
$ make install
$ cd ~/tmp/
$ DISPLAY=:0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib ./bin/compiz --replace composite opengl
In addition, as a temporary fix, I can workaround the problem if I grab-ungrab the pointer when it is very close to the toolbar.
Please let me know if I can provide more information or assistance.
