I would also report 2 issues I have with 3.5: - The mod4 (win key) is trapped by some application like krdc or virtualbox when we switch from tag to tag. Before we need to use mouse click to grab the keyboard. Is there any way to remove the auto grab? - virtualbox is no more able to display vm windows size correctly. I'm not sure is related to XSizeHints. You can see on the following screenshot[1] that the window size is bad and a scrollbar appear when it asking for automatic size to virtualbox. Reisze manually, make the border flicker until the scrollbar disappear. I guess there is something miscalculated here.
