VBox has an "ungrab" feature; by default, I think it's the right ctrl
key. Whacking it toggles whether VBox will capture keypresses. Haven't
used VNC much, but I'm sure there's a similar feature if you dig
through the documentation for your particular client.

Hello
I've noticed that when a VirtualBox window (in which I am running MS Windows XP) has focus keypresses directed at xmonad (mod key + some other key) are handled by VirtualBox (and the guest operating system it is running) rather than xmonad. The same happens when using a VNC client such as vinagre: keypresses directed at xmonad end up being received by the remote machine I am working with.
Is there a way to avoid this and have xmonad intercept these keypresses?
thanks ~lara
