Ah, good, with 3.10, it runs now.  So, runnig a virtual machine
with no OS now, and it tries to get a config over DHCP.  

1. Move cursor to menu bar of the vm window.
2. Press ctrl-alt-enter => goes to fullscreen mode.
3. Press ctrl-alt-enter => window vanishes, the keyboard is still
   grabbed, but the mouse os not.  It's not possible to type
   commands.
4. Press ctrl-alt-enter => window comes back in window mode.  The
   keyboard is still grabbed, but the mouse is not, so it can be
   used to interact with fvwm.
5. Move the pointer to the menu bar and press "X" => the keyboard
   grab is released.

Is 3 what you mean?  Is there a way to have this window vanish but
not hold the keyboard grab?
