Ah, it has more sense now for me. Yes, I also like the way vkeybd handles the
mouse. It is much nicer than a simple mouse grabbing, and I would like to
implement this behavior in vmpk.

I've opened a feature request (tracker item) in SF for this issue:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2107732&group_id=236429&atid=1100310

Please feel free to add comments, or add new feature requests if you wish. And
thanks again for reviewing the program and for your feedback.

Regards,
Pedro
