You can switch Vinagre between full-keyboard mode and the mode where it intercepts keys like control-W. In the former mode, you can even send Control-Alt-Del from the keyboard. I agree it's annoying, but much less so when you know how to do this (unfortunately the different states aren't made obvious, and I don't remember how to switch them right now). Since I learned this, Vinagre got a lot nicer and I use VNC for all my QEMU and KVM sessions now. I got annoyed with SDL for other reasons, and being able to detach from a running VM is quite nice. -- Jamie
