Re-mapped keyboard keys not recognized by VirtualBox => fixed in SVN

[gwr]

I normally use a keyboard that has the left "control" key in the bottom row, and a "caps lock" key in the "A S D F" row. I like having those two keys swapped, which the X server easily allows on Solaris (and others) via "xmodmap". However, when I use "xmodmap" to swap control/caps-lock, then VirtualBox apparently ignores the keymap changes, continuing to send the keys with their original key codes to the guest OS.

It would be better if VirtualBox used a technique like "rdesktop" (the Windows RDP client), where the key symbols from the X server are converted back to key codes, where those key codes may be different than the real (hardware) key codes.

This issue has already been fixed in the development version of VirtualBox, but it has not been ported back to the 2.0 series.
