Subject: alt-F4 is not trapped by qemu

Date: Sun, 04 Nov 2007 22:05:54 +0530

Package: qemu
Version: 0.9.0+20070816-1
Severity: important

Hi,

In qemu, currently Alt+F4 is not trapped like the other keys.
This leads to the qemu window getting closed when the user uses the key combination of Alt+F4.
When in grab mode, qemu should also grab Alt+F4 and not let the DM to close the qemu window.

By DM, do you mean display manager?  I think you mean window manager.
DMs are things like [gkx]dm that show a graphical login screen and
uses XDMCP.

Anyway I'm going to guess that QEMU doesn't special-case alt-f4 but
that the WM ultimately receives the keys anyway and can do what it
wants in a wm-specific way with them.

Works fine with qemu 0.9.1-1, when in grab mode. If you want to make
sure you don't close the windows accidentally by using Alt+F4 when not
in grab mode, you can also use the option -no-quit.
