   	This is happening under Virtual Box in Slackware 15.0. Since the   
   VM is Debian 11, this may be more a Debian kind of thing, but Slackware   
   people seem to be more savvy when it comes to such technical details.   
      
   	I have this Debian 11 VM running Xfce. I killed the screensaver   
   and power manager daemon in this Xfce session, for I have no need for   
   them. When I left this sit for a while (maybe half an hour or so) on   
   trying to do so the keyboard is completely unresponsive in this VM. Only   
   the keyboard - the mouse is still working fine.   
      
   	The thing is, when I elicit a software keyboard from Virtual Box,   
   by doing Input -> Keyboard -> Soft Keyboard at the Virtual Box menu in   
   the window where the VM is running, I can type characters all right in   
   the VM - for example, into a terminal emulator already running in that VM   
   - and from that point onward I can use my real keyboard in that VM   
   without any problems - until such time that I stop using it for half an   
   hour or so again.   
      
   	This seems to point in the direction of some issue with Virtual   
   Box itself. Any ideas?
