That's just a short term issue. When we move to the new VNC widget in virt-manager, we'll be able to grab every keystroke including C-A-D and C-A-Fx.

One resaon it might not work, is if the user preferences in virt-manager have turned off the keyboard grabing. egards, -- |=- Red Hat, Engineering, Emerging Technologies, Boston. +1 978 392 2496 -=| |=- Perl modules: http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ -=| |=- Projects: http://freshmeat.net/~danielpb/ -=| |=- GnuPG: 7D3B9505 F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 -=|
