(Get the code!)
Thank you Benjamin. That is so not obvious and _very_ useful for connecting to Windows servers and VMs.
Actually, F11 makes no difference. Mouse focus is the trick.
The natural thing doesn't work. You're using the remote desktop, it has mouse focus, and you type ctrl+alt+del - that doesn't work and brings up Gnome's power menu (e.g.).
The trick is to have the mouse _not_ focused on the remote display. Then press ctrl+alt which switches to focus, then (still holding ctrl+alt) press del, and the remote display gets it.
It's not obvious. Fwiw, Microsoft VirtualPC has a menu option "Send Ctrl-Alt-Del" which makes sense. Something tells me the Vinagre developers didn't log in to Windows machines much :-)
