Yeah, then it works for getting mouse out, but when hoovering back
over VMware Player window I can't write to virtual machine as before.
I need to click inside again and when moving cursor out again it works
just fine. But getting back needs click always.

When running vmwh -d it shows all the time vmware_get_mouse_position:
host cursor is at XX, XX (grabbed)
