Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination and "Send Ctrl-Alt-Del" option not working

When connecting with Horizon Client for Linux (I tried 4.6.0 and later) to a Windows desktop, neither Ctrl-Alt-Del key combination nor the menu option "Send Ctrl-Alt-Del" have any effect. When the remote desktop locks, I have to disconnect and reconnect to unlock it. Why is it not working? Is there a setting I can change client-side? I tried:

view.sendCtrlAltDelToVM="TRUE"

in ~/.vmware/config, but there's no effect, either.

For future reference, this only affects the non-seamless-window binary (vmware-view). Ctrl+Alt+Del works just fine with vmware-view-crtbora, which is the only version starting with 5.2 release, so I guess this can be considered resolved.
