No, ctrl-alt-] does not terminate the console.

I can use minicom like this:

  minicom -op /dev/pts/3

to connect to the monitor just fine, but connecting to /dev/pts/4
doesn't do anything. There seems to be no output, and minicom does
not accept any input from me either. Yet, the guest is running.

Here is the log file:

khyber:/var/log/libvirt/qemu# cat test1.log
