Yes, I have already thought of that one... and actually started some 
work on it awhile ago.  In fact, my near-term plans for XWin.exe are to 
add a couple registry settings to remember the position of the Exit 
confirmation dialog box.  If that goes well, it will only be a matter of 
time until more settings are registry enabled.

This can still be done with the Windows key, since we are not capturing 
the Windows key.  Sure, it might be useful to optionally enable ALT+HOME.

Noted, but some of these don't make a whole lot of since because the two 
ends are not both MS Windows in our case.  Think about it --- ALT+DELETE 
is just silly.  How do we even know that the remote end suppots such a 
feature via X; furthermore, what key combo would it translate too?
