SHIFT Ctrl+LeftAlt+Delete works too.

Linux, as far as I know, knows the difference between the different ctrl
alt and del keys. Windows does not.  Therefore when I need to send
ctrl+alt+del to a windows box using vncviewer I press the
RightCtrl+RightAlt+Delete keys and the windows box will unlock without
my linux box rebooting.

Mileage may vary if your box listens to all ctrl/alt keys for the reboot
signal.  Mine(Slackware9.1) will only reboot with the
LeftCtrl+LeftAlt+Delete.

This is the method that I remember reading from the VNC documentation
pages some time ago.
