Hi there!

Thanks for this, but I guess I still don't understand what the reasoning 
for it is.

In both RHEL 5 and Fedora 6, it is possible to pass Ctrl+Alt+Del to a 
guest simply by pressing Ctrl Ctrl Ctrl Alt+Del, if the console has 
keyboard grab in effect. Both the Ctrl and Alt keys can be made sticky 
by pressing them three times. So there's really no need for a special 
Ctrl+Alt+Del button.

To send f8, it's not even necessary to use a sticky key; you just click 
the console window and press f8.

If this isn't working for you, it's a bug and we need to fix it. Please 
let me know if it is!

Take care,
--Hugh
