Does the use of "Ctrl+Alt" in the QEMU documentation refer to Alt in
the PC keyboard sense or Alt in the X sense?  Often "Alt" will be
mentioned to users because that's what's on PC keyboards nowadays,
even though it's commonly assigned to the X keysym Meta.

I have this configuration:

  $ xmodmap
  xmodmap:  up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
  
  shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
  lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
  control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
  mod1        Meta_L (0x40),  Meta_R (0x71)
  mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
  mod3      
  mod4        Super_L (0x73),  Super_R (0x74)
  mod5      
  
and my "Alt"-labeled keys produce Meta_L and Meta_R; QEMU doesn't
respond to Ctrl+Meta.  Is this really such a strange configuration
that it should be impossible to release a QEMU mouse grab with this
keyboard layout?

I would propose that QEMU accept Meta everywhere it currently accepts
Alt, as a wishlist item, but _particularly_ for the grab release
because there's otherwise no way to get input to other X windows
without making QEMU go away first.  (Or, of course, ideally that the
keymaps be arbitrarily configurable, but that's harder, so I'm not
holding my breath.)
