I think the point is that there is no visible way to press C-A-Del in a
guest.  Of course, it's not really visible in VNC normally, either.  You
have to press F8 to bring up the menu.  However, once the menu is
displayed, a number of functions become visible.

In normal VNC, F8 is used to bring up the menu that allows you to send
C-A-Del without some obscure bucky-key sequence.

I think it's more of a user interaction (ie: usability) issue than a bug,
per se.
