Press F8
Click Send ctrl-alt-delete
Works fine even if your local window manager grabs CAD.

I simply press CAD, and twm sends it as a keystroke.... No bother at all.

Subject: different vnc question (on topic!)


Hi, hope you'll see this different vnc question as being on topic...   I 
am running vnc on my fedora notebook  The other machines I want to 
connect to all run win2k or xp, and I have a policy of always requiring 
ctrl alt delete for logons. Plus at work staff often lock desktops, 
which need same to unlock.  This is easily managed when running tightVNC 
on a windows machine as the ctrl alt delete keystrokes can be sent by 
right clicking the taskbar button (it has a menu option for "send ctrl 
alt delete"). 

I can't find any way to send the ctrl alt del keystroke from vnc running 
on linux, hence can only do things remotely if a 2k or xp machine is 
logged on or unlocked.  This seriously limits this option for me, and 
doesn't help me increase my %age of time running linux.

Googling on  vnc and "ctrl alt delete" didn't take me to anything on 
running vnc on linux, only on windows.  Can anyone suggest how I can get 
round this, or perhaps another similar tool?

Roger
