In an attempt to get past unrelated interference I just set up an X session with only an xterm, used that to launch VNC connecting to my KVM test host, and tried to launch my test guest again. Same behavior: Ctl-Alt patterns are ignored, as are any other keystrokes I try to send to the qemu console window, which won't release my mouse. I've looked but haven't found any way to attach a monitor process to an already-running guest. Is this possible? Or do we only get a monitor as a child process of the initial kvm invocation? Given the way qemu and screen interact, using the same keystrokes to initiate commands, it would be really useful to have some other way to detach and re-attach to a kvm guest on the fly.
