Try looking through the KDE desktop menus for anything related to "keyboard" or "shortcuts" or "settings". I don't use KDE anymore, so my knowledge is dated. What you want to do is tell KDE to stop interpreting the CTRL-ALT-DELETE key sequence as a logout/shutdown request, and instead pass that sequence directly on to other windows. The RDP window
might accept it and pass it on to the remote Windows system. Then if the RDP window doesn't pass it through, then look for settings in the RDP session for passing through all keys.
If that works, then of course you cannot use CTRL-ALT-DELETE anymore for restarting the local Linux machine via the KDE desktop.
On a related note, if you are using remote desktop into a Windows system, then most likely you have a need to do a restart or shutdown of that machine directly from within Windows. For Remote Desktop sessions, you can reboot or shutdown the machine remotely by finding the ever so cryptically named "Windows Security" menu entry. IIRC, it is from Start --> Control Panel, or somewhere in the menus that lead up to the Control Panel (I think you may have to enable "Classic mode" in the menus to see it ... Right mouse click context menu over the Start button).
Hope some of that helps!
