>From virt-viewer POV, I'm mostly just a user and I haven't gone throught
the patch, but does this make it configurable?  The reason I'm asking is
because I can use Ctrl-Alt-Del normally and it is properly sent to the
guest.  Even though this is very rare case, I guess, and C-M-<End> is
not used anywhere, it would mean I'd be unable to send it to he guest
properly.
