I agree that this is needed. I suspect that this needs to be something that is transmitted when requested by a user interface, as just typing CTRL-ALT-DEL in the client window is unlikely to have the right effect. (There are probably other such keys, such as the Fxx keys, that are not handled by the in-focus window.)
Exactly, there should be an element in the client GUI (like button or menu item) which sends these key combinations to the host. The protocol itself supports all key combinations. This is an implementation detail. The Client application must allow the client to generate these events somehow (Via menus, buttons, or other GUI elements).

Not sure how vnc handles this, for example.Obviously critical to be able to logon to most windows machines which is really important with all the virtualization stuff going on. VNC implementations did not initially care about this and the support is erratic and confusing. IMHO It's something that for better or worse needs to be designed in from the beginning.
