Hi,

it looks like whatever-desktop-envinroment you are using on the *host*
system is grabbing the default hot-key sequence to exit from qemu
(which is Ctrl+Alt). You may try to start qemu with either "-alt-grab"
or "-ctrl-grab", which would change the ungrab sequence to
"Ctrl-Shift-Alt" or "Right-Ctrl", respectively. Or instead you can try
to execute qemu from an X session without a DM (i.e., started with
"xinit /usr/bin/xterm -- :1").
