On Windows, ctrl+alt+del is caught by the OS and can't be intercepted by applications. This means that virt-viewer cannot steal ctrl+alt+del from the client OS and pass it to the guest. We already have a menu entry to send such a key combination to the guest, but a way to do it from the keyboard would be nice as well. spicec used to be able to send it through ctrl+alt+end from what I was told. It would be nice if we also had a keyboard shortcut for ctrl+alt+del in virt-viewer as it can be more convenient than having to reach for the mouse and a menu entry.
Jonathon sent a patch series upstream: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-August/msg00209.html
Suggest moving this back to ASSIGNED as: Ctrl-alt-end sometimes conflicts with the default release cursor which is ctrl-alt. It happens consistently when the agent is not running, otherwise for some reason noticeable only after maximizing the window. Note that: This causes no issues if the default is overridden, e.g. RHEVM and Shift+F12.

That sounds reasonable to me as well.

Ok, so had a shot at physically installed 7 instead of a VM and it's broken there as well.

What is the reason to keep it in N_QA? should it be moved to ASSIGNED?
I just posted another patch to the mailing list that should fix the issue in fullscreen: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2013-October/msg00098.html

Cheryn, the doc text is not fully accurate, the last sentence should read "This key combination can now be passed to the guest using the Ctrl+Alt+End key combination" or something similar.
Thanks for the correction Christophe, I've changed it according to your suggestion.
