I've tested xmonad on ubuntu and archlinux, running either on virtualbox and vmware. After installing guest additions (and the equivalent vmware tools for vmware), the focus border stops working. I was just wondering if there was a workaround or if anyone has a similar setup working?

What are the guest-addition-tools? Is it a package that I did not find in my search for it? – Robert Massaioli Dec 25 '11 at 12:47
@Robert Massaioli yes it's a package that allows your guests to go fullscreen, share the mouse and clipboard with the host, and to use the Shared folders, virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html – bneil Dec 25 '11 at 13:50
You're not alone in the world: I have exactly the same problem :-( – Nicolas Wu Mar 5 at 15:43
@NicholasWu If you're using osx as your host machine, you can use parallels which doesnt have the same issue. – bneil Mar 6 at 18:48
