Incidently, its sendkey ctrl-alt-delete (ctrl-alt-del didn't work for me
last time i tried it at least).

CTRL-ALT-4 is the parallel port console, parallel0. If you added more consoles,
those would take up more numbers. Of course, theres no reason why we can't
map CTRL-ALT-D to CTRL-ALT-DELETE in the guest, CTRL-ALT-P to the Pause/Break
key, CTRL-ALT-B to CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE, etc.
