[Bug 806255] Re: Unity/compiz intercepts keystrokes from grabbed windows.

 

** Description changed:

- When I use the super key while I'm in kvm with unity 2d and all other
- actions, including alt + tab, are processed in the vm, when I press the
- super key, I get the host launcher showing up instead of having the
- option of using the launcher in the vm.
+ The two main scenarios where this bug is seen are:
+ 
+ 1. Running a VM and pressing the Super key in the VM. This causes the
+ host's Unity dash to open as well as Super being sent to the guest.
+ 
+ 2. When the screen is locked (Ctrl+Alt+L), press Super before unlocking
+ the screen with your password. Once unlocked you will notice the Super
+ keypress was received by Unity and the dash was opened before you had
+ even unlocked the screen.
+ 
+ ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION:
+ When I use the super key while I'm in kvm with unity 2d and all other actions, including alt + tab, are processed in the vm, when I press the super key, I get the host launcher showing up instead of having the option of using the launcher in the vm.
