Running Windows guest in a VirtualBox session can be complicated when the host is Gnome 3.
The "windows / superkey" keyboard shortcut is mapped strictly to the host, so the guest never catches it. How do you then use the "windows" key in a Windows guest?
There are two very simple options:
1) If your keyboard has two "Windows" key, then the one on the right is not mapped to the Gnome 3 host by default. It will be passed to the windows guest.
2) If you don't have two "Windows" keys, then you can use the windows key combination: Left Ctrl+Esc
The windows guest will interpret it as the "Windows" key.
