Bug description:
[Impact]
After upgrading from Maverick to Natty, I can no longer use the Super
(windows) key in Virtual Machine Manager. Previously, as long as I had the
Virtual Machine Manager console window in the foreground, I could press the
Super key and the start menu would pop up. Since upgrading to Natty, this no
longer works, and the search box appears in the upper left.
Also see bug #934921
[Test Case]
(1) Install virtualbox or virt-manager and qemu-system, create and boot a
virtual machine
(2) while in the virtual machine (and it should grab the keyboard), press the
Super key
Expected Result: the super key acts inside the VM (check by install unity on
it or using xev)
Buggy Result: the super key acts in the host and the Unity Dash is displayed
[regression Potential]This patch plays with key grabs and ungrabs:
the most likely potential for regression is (a) the existing grabs
continue and no fix obtains or (2) the grab is not resumed when
returning control from the VM and the Super key does not invoke the
Unity Dash.
