Normally release is done with the Right-Ctrl key, but if you're in the host and the guest has exclusive control of mouse and keyboard, you have no Right-Ctrl key; you have no keyboard or mouse at all. If the window for the guest is minimized in the host, you are dead in the water, and sunk to the bottom. I can't remember what they're called, but they're little windows that an application pops up with some attribute that completely locks the OS until the little window gets what it wants. I suspect that one of these little windows popped up in the guest right after I minimized its window in the host. This is a VirtualBox issue, not a Debian problem. I need a solution. I can't keep having my computer locked up every half hour or so.
