Re: A proposal for the keybindings issue

While you can change the key bindings in the Spaces preference pane, It does not eliminate the problem of Spaces "stealing" the key event. When focus is on a window providing access to the desktop environment of a remote system, the key event should be passed through to the remote system and not effect the local system.

I disagree with that. What if you want to switch spaces on the local machine? You have to select a window not owned by X11, and then change spaces? That's not consistent behavior when switching spaces while using other applications. I think Spaces should steal the keys it has been assigned. If you need to send those keys to the remote side, you should either use a client that allows sending those keys programmatically (just as the Windows VNC client lets you send Ctrl+Alt +Del to the remote system), or you can disable or remap the Spaces keys. It's a mad world where applications can steal keys targeted at higher-level functions.
