Hi, I'd like to propose a small change in the grab behaviour of the SDL window: Currently, when the mouse is moved over the window, the guest mouse is moved as well and the guest receives keyboard input (using absolute mouse here and focus-follow-mouse). However, the keyboard is not grabbed, and so the guest doesn't receive all key combinations (very bad, when you try to close a window in the guest and instead the whole SDL window is closed). You have to click or use a key combination to grab. Now, when the grab is active, also the pointer is confined inside the SDL window. You have to again use a key combination to get out. The better behaviour, I think would be the following: Whenever the SDL window gets the focus, it should grab the keyboard without confining the pointer. Then you could use all the key combinations in the guest and you could still change the focus by moving the mouse out and to another window. VMware does it like this, VirtualBox, I think, as well, and also the rdesktop client. However, I've checked the SDL documentation and it seems it only provides SDL_WM_GrabInput which grabs the keyboard *and* confines the mouse. So maybe SDL would need to be extended for this to work. If that is in fact the case, a work-around would be, to never do a grab. My window manager can be configured to deliver (almost) all key combinations to certain windows, so I could still get the desired behaviour.
