The instructions in the preceding two paragraphs do nothing, because
xev works only if its gui window has focus, and if you're inside the
qemu guest then the xev window on the host doesn't have focus.

What I did instead was:

1) Right ctrl on xev on the Void metal host (xev_void_metal.txt)

2) Right ctrl on xev in the Void qemu guest (xev_void.txt)

3) Right ctrl on xev in the Refracta qemu guest (xev_refracta.txt)

The results of the three are concatenated in the following file:

I saw nothing within the results to in any way differentiate the
Refracta guest from the Void guest, and yet the mouse can escape *only*
the Void guest.

If you have a different test in mind, please enumerate it click by
click, command by command, so I can perform it. Also, in such
enumeration please reserve the word "host" for the OS on bare metal,
and the word "guest" for OS running inside Qemu, just so there's no
possibility of my misinterpreting it.

Thanks,
