You are restating what I just said as though you were disagreeing. Why is that?

The OP said he couldn't pass the Cntl-Alt-F2 and I told him how by going into 
the QEMU monitor, then you said the key is intercepted by X11, which sounds a 
LOT like "do pass through unless to higher level acts on them." At least to me. 
The Cntl-Alt-F2 is acted upon by a higher (X11) level.

Relatedly, I sure wish I could pass Cntl-Alt-Left to the host window manager by 
some trickery such as using the right Alt-Cntl keys. :-( That passes to the VM 
when I don't want it to.
