I'm not quite sure if I'm not getting what you're trying to say, or if 
you didn't get what my problem is.

Fact is, there is NO obvious keyboard command that grabs the print 
dialog of Adobe Reader (Linux) being displayed via X2Go on Microsoft 
Windows.
And yes, X2Go on Windows is using vcxsrv.

There's also no way of using any of the usual methods known from Linux 
(Alt+Mouse or any of the Gnome/KDE keyboard shortcuts).

The damn window only responds to "close" commands, nothing else.

On a regular application running on Microsoft Windows, I would just hit 
Alt+Space, ArrowDown, Enter and I would be able to move the window with 
the arrow keys. But it seems that vcxsrv doesn't support that, and 
neither does it pass through the Linux methods of doing that.
