The problem I see with this is that I sometimes hit control-alt-delete
as my X server/GTK has crashed and I need to kill X.

If hitting control-alt-delete brings up a dialog which needs the
mouse/keyboard/gtk etc to be working fine, and they don't, bad things
will happen.

Control-alt-delete is Kill, and I never really understood why Windows
overloaded it to include Log Off, Task Manager etc.

Just my tuppence,
Ross
