True, but if you're interacting with a guest to the extent that you're alt-tabbing around, it's not an unreasonable expectation that the user initiate a screen-grab aforetime. A shiny "grab/ungrab screen" button might also help to set expectations in advance. Keeping your mouse away from the window isn't quite as easy/predictable. You might do it by accident while switching through workspaces for instance, or by closing out a different app if you're using a tiling window manager. It's not a huge deal either way if it's configurable and persistant, but IMO there's more rationale for disabling grab-on-hover by default. > > Paolo >
