Alternative solution: Allow users to learn by experience that Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills X ... the more disasterous this is for them, the quicker they'll learn. The only time I've ever killed X by accident was when running XGL, and I don't remember the details of why this was happening, but anyway, the 'DontZap' option fixed things. Surely this is enough? > Since openSUSE 11.0 users have to hit ctrl+alt+backspace twice quickly > to kill X. The problem with this is that when I want to kill X, it's usually because it's crashed, and I have enough trouble getting it to respond to *any* keypresses. Considering the CPU is 100% busy with X, is it going to register my multiple 'quick' Ctrl-Alt-Backspace keypresses? Seriously, we need a way to kill X, and no matter what way that is, some user will manage to 'accidentally' trigger it ( a million-monkeys-type situation ). We've currently got a way to kill X, and I can't see how much more obscure and difficult we can make it without requiring > 2 hands. I don't see a case for changing things.
