Description Dominik 2008-03-22 02:03:15 EDT 
With Openbox 3.4.6 (and 3.4.6.1) left Alt key does not work anymore after using Vmware-workstation (and vmware grabbing keyboard input). Openbox 3.4.5 and earlier works just fine.
The problem starts when Vmware grabs keyboard and mouse input.
After pressing ctrl-alt to release keyboard/mouse grab by vmware, no Alt-* keyboard combinations work anymore (for instance alt-tab or alt-f10). If terminal is active they produce just strange escape keycode in terminal instead of switching to other window or maximizing terminal. running openbox --reconfigure or openbox --restart fixes it until another time when vmware grabs input.
