And of course there's always something else: now I can't get the VM to
release the mouse. The above URL says this should happen with the two
CTRL keys, but it doesn't. The default virt-manager combo, which was
fine up to now, doesn't work either, so my only escape is to shut down
the VM.

Is this configurable somehow?
