Yes, you are right, if I deactivate the mouse integration feature (by right-clicking on the mouse icon on the bottom) then I can move the windows inside the guest with Mod4. The downside is that I now have to mouse-click to enter the guest and use the host key to leave it. I still think that it should be possible to use VB mouse integration and Mod4 inside at the same time. But debugging that will be challenging.
