Is this generally useful? If you are proposing this as a general way to
get around useful key sequences getting stolen by the local gui, it
doesn't seem the kind of interface that users will want. Can we remap
such key sequences in some way to make them accessible to users without
needing to run a monitor program and type in sequences longhand?
vmware/vncviewer use a menu such as "Send ctrl-alt-del" to do the same thing, but it's limited for our environment because various key sequences are stolen by linux host.
this patch is borrowed from qemu and good enough at this point (we didn't use this frequently)
