People here, like me, have told you that whilst they've used X for years, and that they know what the keysequence is and what it does, they have still hit it by accident and lost work. I have fat fingers, other people do too. It's not about user education either, like you continually claim. And unlike the reset button and the power cord, the X server ZAP sequence isn't protected in any "reasonable" way from accidental use. Your fingers are flying over the "big red button" every time you type, and that's what makes it a bad default. You can keep ignoring all of this, and I know you will since it doesn't help support your position. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
