I have Ctrl-F[1234] configured to switch to desktops 1..4, and configured "CapsLock is another Ctrl" (I don't know whether this is relevant). Recently - most likely after the gtk-vnc-0.3.8-2.fc10.x86_64 update - I noticed that my usual sequence of "alt-tab to the virt-manager window, press Ctrl-Fx to switch to a different desktop" stopped working. Making sure the mouse pointer is outside the guest window doesn't help. Minimizing and restoring the guest window does help, and Ctrl-Fx works again - until I work with the guest again.
Exact steps to reproduce: * click into the guest window to cause a keyboard grab * press ctrl+alt to release the grab * move pointer out of the guest window * Try alt-tab - doesn't work (or lets me switch to the virt-manager master window, but not back) * click into the virt-manager master window - window title bar indicates focus Try typing - doesn't' work * minimize the guest window alt-tab and ctrl-f3 start working In perhaps 1 out of 10 attempts everything works fine. I didn't figure out what's the difference so far.
