You are right. VMPK uses XGrabKeyboard() to seize the keyboard, even when VMPK
is not the active application. I find this feature very convenient for this
program, because you can play notes with VMPK even when you are using
controls with the mouse in another application. For instance, you may want to
press the record/stop buttons in your favorite MIDI sequencer while using
VMPK.
Grabbing the keyboard works well in KDE, Enlightenment and WindowMaker, but it
is very annoying under other window managers and desktops as you have
noticed. I'm sorry, but I can only offer a workaround for the next release:
grab keyboard functionality will be optional, and disabled by default.
For the record, when the keyboard grabbing is active you don't need to exit
the program to use the keyboard in other applications, only minimize (hide
it). Keyboard grabbing will be re-enabled when the program is restored.
Of course, you can fix your problem right now: install and use a decent
desktop, like KDE ;-)
Regards,
Pedro
