Easy! Everywhere! *grins*

The escape key should be a global binding of sorts to cancel the current
operation / dialog box / etc regardless of [GNOME] application. (Yes I
realize that this isn't a simple undertaking due to the massive scope.)

1) Anytime there is a "cancel" button visible to the user, "Escape"
should activate the "cancel" button.

2) Any dialog box should also be "Escape"able defaulting to the same
effect as pressing the "X" to close the dialog window.

I believe someone mentioned that OSX already does this so that /may/ be
a good example of the behaviour desired.

Should I file a wish-list bug somewhere?
