The cocoa-Aproach does not use SDL at all, it is an alternative to SDL. 
Mouse and Key Grabbing is handled completly by cocoa.m. The 
cocoa-Aproach is meant to add a userfriendly GUI to qemu under OS X.

In order to be able to use elements outside qemu (like for examples a 
toolbar with a button to switch cdrom-images) you must have a way to 
ungrab on the fly. I use the same ctrl+alt as in SDL.

Never the less, one could make an Menu- / Prefferencepanel entry for 
enabling/disabling mousegrab for Console-Style Guest-OSes
