Bug Description

I have enabled/disabled "View> Keyboard Shortcuts" but cannot get Vinagre to recognize any keyboard shortcuts in the remote connection (alt-tab is the main one).
I am using RDP to connect to a Windows machine through a VPN connection from my local machine.

Vinagre doesn't capture remote keyboard shortcuts. Behavior remains exactly the same regardless of which menu option I have choosen.

Alt+Tab is not sent to remote host

Using Vinagre 3.4.2 within Ubuntu Studio 12.04 (XFCE)
Linux hostname 3.2.0-23-lowlatency #31-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Wed Apr 11 02:24:03 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

a) Launch a full-screen RDP session to Windows XP host
b) Regardless of whether or not "Keyboard Shortcuts" is checked or unchecked, Alt+Tab will cycle thru local machine's windowed applications.

expected results:
When the Keyboard shortcuts option is disabled, Alt+Tab will cycle thru the windowed applications on the remote Windows XP workstation.
