Are you referring to the "rdesktop" program? ("rfbdrake" uses rdesktop
to connect to Windows machines.) I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del while using
rdesktop to connect to a WinXP machine and the keys were recognized just
as if I'd been sitting at the machine.

According to "man rdesktop", full screen is toggled using
Ctrl-Alt-Enter.
Of course, if you ever got stuck like that again, you could
"Ctrl-Alt-F1" to login to the console, do a "killall rdesktop" to kill
the rdesktop process, then "Alt-F7" to return to the GUI. But I
digress...
