QEMU developers:
I have been using QEMU off and on for some time. Recently I had a need
for a Windows XP VM to be joined to a domain. I discovered a rather
annoying issue in the form of the key-grab: NT-based Microsoft
operating systems make heavy use of Ctrl-Alt-Delete, i.e. to sign on,
open the task manager, change your password, lock your screen, etc.
I've started using the tablet USB device specifically because I don't
like this grabby behaviour, and it started becoming a real problem for
everyday use.
I wrote a patch that adds a command-line switch to qemu (-alt-grab).
It allows you to remap the keygrab combination to Ctrl-Alt-Shift when
using SDL-based displays. It has only been tested on Linux / AMD64.
Please reply to me off-list, as I am not subscribed. Comments are
appreciated, and I would like to see this make it into the mainline
QEMU branch.
