Title:
  key binding with virtual box inconsistent

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not sure if this is a unity or virtualbox issue, exactly, but
  based on a vbox ticket (below) I think it's unity.

  when keyboard/mouse are grabbed in a windows guest OS, pressing the
  "windows key" opens both the start menu in the guest and the Dash on
  the host, stealing focus from the guest.  Pressing again closes the
  dash and returns focus.

  however, other key bindings, just as ctrl+alt+arrows do not get
  processed on the host until the guest is un-grabbed.  my understanding
  is that his is how it should be, and windows key should not be
  processed on the host too, based on this vbox ticket:
  https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/1066

  what's causing the windows key to be able to over-ride the grab, and
  can it be prevented?

  additionally, can it be conditional, where it only does so when the
  mouse is outside the vbox window?  and if so, can that fix work with
  all other hotkeys bindings?

  This is in 12.04 LTS amd64 that was upgraded from 10.04.  vbox was
  installed after the upgrade and had not been used before.
