Title:
  qemu mouse and keyboard grab is an accessibility problem

Status in QEMU:
  Fix Released
Status in “qemu-kvm” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: qemu

  When you click in a qemu window it grabs the keyboard and mouse and
  instructs you to press ctrl+alt to release them. However this is not
  possible for users of Sticky Keys who will get stuck in the qemu
  instance.

  The solution would be to make the release key configurable so that you
  can set it to a single key (e.g. Windows key, right ctrl, F10, etc.)

  It is related to bug 236137 ('keyboard with dead keys don't work with
  kvm/qemu'), but the access issue can be fixed more easily than the
  general key code grab problem.
