[xmonad] vmware and Alt_ binding

[wagnerdm at seas.upenn.edu]

Most virtual machines have a key which toggles between capturing all  
keypresses for the guest and allowing the host to capture some  
keypresses. (Usually, there's a visual indicator of which mode is  
current, too.) In VirtualBox, the right control key does this job. You  
should check around in your configuration dialogs or, failing that,  
the documentation for VMWare to find out their mechanism for this  
toggling.
