[xmonad] xmonad and VirtualBox/VNC

[wagnerdm at seas.upenn.edu]

VBox has an "ungrab" feature; by default, I think it's the right ctrl  
key. Whacking it toggles whether VBox will capture keypresses. Haven't  
used VNC much, but I'm sure there's a similar feature if you dig  
through the documentation for your particular client.
