That's the correct behavior for now (see the test case, a prerequisite it
full screen), since when VirtualBox doesn't grab the keyboard, the unity
host gets the event and it will display the dash if needed.

Fine

Mh right... I actually think this is sane since the overlay should alway be
available when requested, since it doesn't need input and thus it doesn't
create any trouble.
