[xmonad] Virtual Box won't release keyboard or mouse when used in xmonad

[Jordan Wilberding]

Well installing the add-ons lets me work around the focus grab problem. But
it still doesn't understand Host+F to switch to and from full screen, and
once its full screen I can't use xmonad keys either to do stuff like switch
to another screen with Mod+2 or something.

Thanks!
