Which versions of gnome-shell, libmutter-2-0, gnome-boxes do you have?
Are you prompted for whether to let gnome-boxes inhibit shortcuts? You
should get a system-modal dialog (the sort that dims the entire screen,
like the Shut Down dialog you get from Ctrl+Alt+Del itself) something
like this:
|----------------------------------------------------------|
| Boxes wants to inhibit shortcuts |
| /!\ |
| You can restore shortcuts by pressing Super+Escape. |
| |
|--------[ Deny ]--------------------[ Allow ]-------------|
(If you don't click Allow then this feature is not expected to work.)
Does it help to click inside the virtual machine window before pressing
Ctrl+Alt+Del?
If you try using virt-manager instead of gnome-boxes (the same machines
should appear in both), does that work any better?
Does sending Ctrl+Alt+Del via the keyboard menu work?
Thanks,
