Nope, not in the list for the Keyboard Shortcuts. 

Odd, shows up in the gconf-editor under /apps/metacity/global_keybindings
as 'run_commmand_1', whatever that is supposed to be.  I set it to
'disabled'.  I no longer get the logout dialog but I still cannot get
vncviewer to recognize a ctrl-alt-del. If I kill metacity and run sawfish
instead, it works.  BUt with sawfish, all sorts of other things break like
the background and workspaces. At least, it does not remember the settings
between sessions.

Is there no list just for metacity?  Seems inefficient.

Anyway, that was more a feature request then, I guess.
