Right, this is actually what my proposed solution for 2) under gnome does, it
monitors the gnome-session's status, and would release the keyboard grab when
that status goes to idle (which is what gnome-screensaver triggers on).
Note I believe that this is only the proper behavior when running windowed, I
believe that in fullscreen mode we should simply inhibit the screensaver,
relying on the guest's screensaver / locking.

Agreed, but it is less then ideal which is why I mentioned this.
