[Bug 741869] Re: Unity/compiz intercepts Super and Alt keypresses from grabbed windows like VMs.
This bug was fixed in the package unity - 7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1
---------------
unity (7.2.2+14.04.20140714-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=medium
[ Alfred Neumayer ]
* Restore the launcher position by reversing the animation and
unsetting the DND_PUSHED_OFF quirk. (LP: #1304882)
[ Brandon Schaefer ]
* TextInput: move the warning icon inside the input field, render it
white (LP: #1307738)
* ShutdownView: Scale up the Buttons and Text plus Borders of the
UnityWindowView. (LP: #1308323)
* Lockscreen warning icon needs a tooltip to say what the warning is
about! (LP: #1308288)
[ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
* UnityScreen: always paint the lockscreen above, just add menu and
onboard as exceptions Some code cleanup, factorizing similar code.
(LP: #1313280)
* ApplicationLauncherIcon: Focus and, in case, Spread the windows on
DnD After 1 second that an user is over an icon, that icon should
focus the relative application and Spread its windows if it has more
than one opened. Correctly handle the DnD scale in launcher, and
apply glow to the icon under pointer. (LP: #607796)
* ShutdownView: Scale up the Buttons and Text plus Borders of the
UnityWindowView. (LP: #1308323)
* SwitcherView: use RawPixel's for the size values and convert them to
match current scaling (LP: #1317348)
* PluginAdapter: try to grab the screen to make sure that the screen
is not grabbed FocusIn event with NotifyGrab mode is not always
triggered by X when a window takes the grab, then we need to ensure
that there's no grab by trying to get one. We only care about
keyboard here, since pointer grabs don't affect us in general.
(LP: #741869)
* ShortcutView: use RawPixel's for the size values and convert them to
match current scaling Plus dinamically allocate horizontal space,
not to cut the text. (LP: #924840)
[ Chris Townsend ]
* Fix issue where scaling the edge illumination up and down with the
size of the Launcher icons would cause the illumination border to be
offset and smaller than the icon. (LP: #1309739)
* Fix issue where the number of Launcher icon pips are not always
properly updated when a new window of an already running application
is opened. (LP: #1283775)
* Fix issue where the Panel shadow would get drawn over drop down
windows in full screen windows. (LP: #1316005)
* Bump upstream release to 7.2.2.
[ Andrea Azzarone ]
* Clear the clipboard when locking the screen. (LP: #1308911)
* Disable switcher gestures if screen is locked. Fixed a regression.
(LP: #1321043)
* Pass the correct options to showLauncherKeyTerminate in
UnityScreen::OnLockScreen (LP: #1320438)
* Fix skype indicator blinking. (LP: #1310200)
* Add a warning in the session dialog if other sessions are still
open. (LP: #1281058)
[ Ubuntu daily release ]
* New rebuild forced

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.
