A contribution is much appreciated! > <snip> Hi, Mike, et al. I do have issues with the way the Windows client handles keyboard grabbing. I tend to work exactly as the posting Mike describes and would prefer that <ALT><TAB> worked within the virtual desktop and that either or both the magic pixel and keyboard shortcuts (<CTL>M, <CTL>F) worked but I do not have this issue. I have seen what Mike describes but it is usually a network communications issue - very high latency or packet loss and happens on Linux as well as Windows. Hope that helps - John
