So what's wrong with my original > proposal? The original proposal (read the Windows Keyboard section of the manual) did not seem to apply. This is not a Windows problem. Windows happily passes C-A-\ on to either a local emacs or to VNC. RealVNC worked fine. The problem is that UltraVNC does not pass the key chord on from its client to the Linux VNC server. I.e., this is not a Windows or emacs problem. I just thought that emacs users might know a solution.
