It seems to me that that sequence causes an interrupt that the OS has to 
handle.  Most Linux systems I've seen pass that as a signal to init. 
What init does with it is defined in /etc/inittab.

I don't think there's any keycode or anything for ctrl-alt-del.  Doesn't 
VNC have a way to send that signal to the remote machine?  There's a man 
page that says vncviewer pops up a window when you press f8 that has a 
button for that.  No idea if that's close to the viewer you're using.

I'll have to try this on my terminal server at work.
