http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906192 Frederic Crozat changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED Resolution|--- |WONTFIX --- Comment #3 from Frederic Crozat --- Under linux, ctrl-alt-del doesn't have any more power than any other regular keystrokes. This means if something (X11 usually) is going crazy, pressing Ctrl-alt-del won't do a thing. There is nothing a desktop environment can do. Maybe things will improve in the future with Wayland, but I'm not even sure of that. I suggest you open bug reports on the freeze you encounter. Closing this bug as wontfix. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=906192 --- Comment #5 from Frederic Crozat --- GNOME maps ctrl-alt-del to "shutdown / restart" because other operating system (Windows) are mapping it in a similar fashion. Restarting GNOME Shell shouldn't mapped to such keybinding (there is no good reason to map such debug features). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
