Ubuntu Studio has decided to add a keymap to launch gnome-system-monitor.
Most windows users see this as a equivalent to Ctrl+Alt+Del. That is of
course already mapped and launches the logout dialog. So we decided to
use the keys KDE uses to launch their monitor. Ctrl+Esc. This works out
great in
Can super+escape work? I thought Compiz only freaked out if the key combo
was already in use, but using the modifiers otherwise didn't matter.

I'm sure this debate has gone on before, but I'm in favour of stopping
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace from killing X because new users can press this by
accident. That combo would work if it was freed from its present duty.

Er, would that not be a colossall
The original argument about this went something like:
- Killing X is dangerous, and unknown to users from other OSes. People
hitting it by accident (trying to hit Ctrl-Alt-Delete, for example), can
cause damage to their systems etc.
- But somethimes it's the only way to get rid of a crashed full-

Ok. As this has yet again descended into off-topic debate, and nobody
has actually given an answer to this question I'm gonna close the issue
for us.
Ubuntu Studio will set Escape to launch gnome-system-monitor in
Metacity but this will not work in Compiz because of the way they do
things. Oh well

Could we use Ctrl+Alt+Del? I know what it does on the command line, but (I
don't want to try it right now thanks) does it also cause a reboot if you do
it in Gnome?
And if we can't use that, can't we think of something else, like
Ctrl+F12 or Ctrl+Break... surely there are lots of possible ke

No, it launches the logoff/lock-screen/reboot/s

It is only a keybinding, so as long as people can change it, then the
default doesn't matter all that much. The only problem with the concept at
the moment is that people will expect it to work during full-screen apps
like Ctrl-Alt-Delete does in windows. It doesn't at the moment because SDL
and op
Doesn't xorg hold some keybindings? I thought Ctrl+Alt+Backspace worked to
kill X in full screen apps, I'm sure I've used it in games.
One thing we really do need is a way to easily make new keybindings. The
existing gnome keyboard shortcuts GUI is fine, but it doesn't allow you to
add them. Wh
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is the only keyboard control that x locks, and it kills x
completely. There is no way to kill only the crashed full-screen app.
Non-fullscreen apps can be killed with xkill or others, but when an app
grabs the entire keyboard and crashes, it's Ctrl-Alt-Backspace or a hard
power-o
For some reason, I think Compiz's "unredirect fullscreen" setting lets
Compiz get keyboard combos even while using a fullscreen app. I don't have
it installed here, so I can't try, but I think I could open an xterm while
running Battle for Wesnoth.
