    initial v1  
    1 I took a look at Fedora 25 and it is still doing a lot of X11 mixed in with Wayland, so that is probably the explanation.  To clarify, we were using a different method to capture the keyboard in !VirtualBox 5.0 which is not compatible with Qt5 (to which we switched in the 5.1 series) and overall had more problems that this one.  We worked around other GNOME bugs but this one was too much work for too little benefit.  Qemu and the GNOME RDP client work around it by releasing the focus when the mouse pointer leaves their window.  We did not like that approach, as we considered it too confusing.
