stuck in full screen

position the mouse cursor in the top center of the screen. Now the "local" mouse cursor should become visible. Once visible, you have keyboard shortcut control of the local desktop not the remote desktop. Now you can alt-tab. If the cursor is not visible in the top center of the screen all control reverts back to the remote desktop.

unable to control remove machine or control very sluggish

there seems to be a problem with some versions of vinagre when control of remove machine via vnc.

Using xtightvncviewer allows full control of remote host, using vinagre there is no control or it is very delayed. This is an incompatibility, currently no suggested resolution.
