Just to clarify, you aren't even able to click the mouse and have the =
guest
grab the input? Or are you referring to automatic grab/ungrab, where =
moving
the mouse in and out of the guest will automatically redirect input to =
it (or
to the host)?

Presumably you tested with KDE/IceWM/Xfce in the _host_, not in the =
guest,
right? That's how I interpreted your e-mail; I just want to be sure.

I don't know the requirements myself, but I'll try and find someone who =

elaborate.
