[Bug 1868116] Re: QEMU monitor no longer works

[Christian Ehrhardt ]

Last commit mentioning VTE is a while ago:
6415994 Thu Oct 11 17:30:39 2018 +0200 gtk: Don't vte_terminal_set_encoding() 
on new VTE versions

I built head of qemu against head of vte - to check if I even need to look for 
existing fixes.
=> That still fails, so it is probably time for a bug report to get other 
people to think with us.

  It was observed that the QEMU console (normally accessible using
  Ctrl+Alt+2) accepts no input, so it can't be used. This is being
  problematic because there are cases where it's required to send commands
  to the guest, or key combinations that the host would grab (as Ctrl-
  Alt-F1 or Alt-F4).
