Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-09-13 08:40:20 UTC 
virt-viewer has RHEL-only support for RHEVM CAD option.

It has been agreed to remove that option from RHEVM. See bug 996564, Remove 'Pass Ctrl+Alt+Delete to virtual machine' from Console Options.

Similarly, virt-viewer should drop this custom feature.

Whether, and how long, to support older RHEVM CAD option or not remains to be decided by PM.

Definitely not 6.5 material, the bug should probably be 6.5.0- 6.6.0?, but I prefer not to touch them as I'm not familiar enough with changing these flags ;)
Comment 3 Christophe Fergeau 2013-09-13 09:46:57 UTC 
Most of this support is in spice-gtk, so this bug will need to be cloned to track the removal there as well.

Yes, it's late in schedule, but it's already there (by mistake). If PM is fine with droping support in 6.5, this is basically already verified by bug 1007205.

devel ack, please pm ack (bug 996564 is pm_ack+ already)

Tested with:
virt-viewer-0.6.0-5.el6.x86_64
rhevm-3.4.0-0.21.el6ev.noarch

Steps:
1.Configure a spice guest on rhev.
2.Check VM Console options,it has option "Map control-alt-del shortcut to ctrl+alt+end".
3.Test the new option "Map control-alt-del shortcut to ctrl+alt+end".
3.1 Enabled "Map control-alt-del shortcut to ctrl+alt+end".
Checked in remote-viewer console,there is "ctrl+alt+end" listed in "Send key".
Press "ctrl+alt+end",it is passed to the guest (VM) as Ctrl+Alt+Del.
3.2 Disalbe "Map control-alt-del shortcut to ctrl+alt+end".
Checked in remote-viewer console,there is no "ctrl+alt+end" listed in "Send key".
Press "ctrl+alt+end",no keys are sent to guest.
4.If choose open console as "save file" as console.vv,in the console.vv,there is content as: 
"secure-attention=ctrl+alt+end".
And the shotcut keys work when I lanuch guest using remote-viewer console.vv.

Refer to the above comments,move the bug to VERIFIED.
