Description Adam Halim cendio 2024-12-18 14:35:33 CET 
When testing the 4.18.0rc1 client on rpi4 (Raspbian 12), I was unable to send any system keys to the server when in fullscreen mode (alt+tab, super key etc).

It looks like this feature is broken on the wayland window managers available in Raspbian (Wayfire & Labwc). Switching to X11 solved this issue.

To switch window manager, run
> sudo raspi-config
and go to "6 Advanced Options > Wayland".

Note that the behaviour is identical using client 4.17.0, and I'm positive that keyboard grab worked when we did release testing for 4.17.0.
