I downloaded Guest Additions, and I hit cntrl-F and that seemed to work.  I
was a little pressed for time, and so I could not fully test it, but it does
seem to take up the whole screen, with no hint of Ubuntu.  That was
satisfactory.  I think I then hit cntrl-F again and I was able once again go
back into Ubuntu.

Thanks for the suggestions!
