Applications such as vncviewer[1] have the option of grabbing the keyboard in order to be able to send all keyboard input to a remote system, even if the window manager would like to reserve some things for itself. This is no longer possible when these applications are running under XWayland.

I know this is currently per design in the Wayland protocol, but it is something that needs to be handled somehow.

[1] Boxes, virt-manager and such should also be affected
