screenshot of F20 aTC1, after pressing PRINT SCREEN key

Description of problem:

If one presses the 'print screen' key, anaconda dies with a 'pane is dead' message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F20 aTC1 (20.8-1)

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot with 'text' boot parameter
2. select 'text mode' when prompted
3. press 'print screen' key

Actual results:
'pane is dead'

Expected results:
either handle the print screen (unlikely on text mode) or nothing, 
just do not crash.

Additional info:
i do not know if this also happens on a physical host.

Comment 3 David Shea 2013-08-26 18:45:13 UTC 
From the screenshot, anaconda appears to have received Ctrl-\, which sends a SIGQUIT to the process. What keystroke we receive when print screen is sent is completely out of our control, and changing the default SIGQUIT behavior could interfere with debugging.
