I upgraded to VB 1.6 under a Kubuntu 7.10 host.

After the upgrade, when I get to the XP login screen and am asked to CTRL-ALT-DEL to enter the XP password, the three fingered salute causes the host shutdown menu to appear on the screen. That is, the keystrokes aren't being passed to the guest. Now I can't login to the guest.

What gives?

(Partial) update:
DIscovered that Host-Key Del will send CTRL-ALT-DEL. Still not sure why the salute doesn't work under 1.6 before login when it did under earlier versions.

This key combination worked in earlier releases only for Linux hosts not for windows hosts. Therefore we decided to unify the handling and to not handle this key combination on any host. As you already found out, Host+Del sends Ctrl+Alt+Del to the guest.
