I'm running xmonad as wm for gnome3 on Debian stable and a virtualized Debian unstable also with gnome3 and xmonad. I view the guest with the viewer integrated in virt-manager (spice).

mod-buttonN work on the viewer instead of being propageted to the guest and effecting the client window running in the guest.

mod-[1-9] for example work inside the guest and switch workplaces inside the guest. But I want to modify windows inside the guest.

virt-viewer is grabbing the keyboard but not the pointer? o.O This seems awkward at best. (There is also a distinct shortage of useful documentation to see if there's some way to make it do a more complete grab / "capture mode".) I don't think there's a good way to work around this aside from using a different modifier for the mouse events on one side or the other. You would have to check which window the mouse event was applied to, and synthesize and forward a new event in the case of virt-viewer; but many programs ignore those events, as the server forcibly tags them as synthetic for security reasons (consider the local-GUI version of various web injection attacks). -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates allbery.b@gmail.com ballbery@sinenomine.net unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
