VirtualBox and xmonad work fine here, I don't have any problem, even without guest additions.
It's probably something in your virtualbox, have you tested with other wm's?
Do you have guest additions installed (on the guest)?
With additions the mouse can always leave the virtualbox normally.
And, as I expect, if you click inside the guest area, xmonad won't capture it.
But you can float vb window by clicking its boarders or bars (that are outside guest area).

Greetings,

When I try to use VirtualBox in xmonad, it fails to give up control of the mouse or keyboard when I use the release key (right ctrl).

I was hoping this was just a bug from a while ago in virtual box or xmonad, but I just tried it again this morning and still have the same problem? Anyone know a good work around?

Thanks!
Jordan Wilberding
