Hi All, 

I'm using spicy more and more, and all I can say is that combined with spice 
agent, it's getting more and more pleasant!
I would like to make a suggestion regarding the key combinations grabbed by the 
client : when using photoshop for example (Yes, it works very well over 100Mbit 
network, 1440*1280 fullscreen), some key combinations don't work well. In 
particular, alt works alone (client's cursor gets changed), but you can't press 
another key together with it nor click (zoom out in photoshop is with 
alt+space+click, or alt+click when already in pan mode, which doesn't work 
either). When I try that, the gtk client's menu appears, and that is very 
frustrating...
That's my first point : at the moment, only shift+F11/F12 are supposed to 
interact with the outside, but combinations involving Alt interfere.
My second point would be about a configuration option : I used to use 
Virtualbox, and there is a possibility to choose the key that gets intercepted. 
Using specifically "Right shift" (which is, otherwise, almost never used), I 
solved all my problems : I'm not sure if there is already a configuration 
framework for storing user-defined options in spicy, but maybe that would be a 
good thing...
I found that "right shift" is a very good option, but I know it can't be 
universal, since some keyboard may not make the difference between the two, and 
some may even have no right shift key...
I talked only about a single "magic key", regarding how VB works : the base key 
(or combination, it can be "Alt+Ctrl" for example) is defined, and gives access 
to all shortcuts : key+F for fullscreen, "magic key"+other key for the other 
functions....

Sorry for not helping much in this project that I really believe in, but I hope 
that at least my user feedback will help you!

Frederic.
