I find this discussion pointless. If you do a ctrl-alt-del in text mode the
system reboots. There is nothing to stop it to do this. If you did the same on
some earlier Windows version (and in the old dos days) the same thing happened.
Yes, one could do something to pop up a window and let the user confirm. This
would involve some work - but it would be feasable.
Yes, I have disabled this on my main workstation, too as I often test servers
which i need to zap and accidentally do this on the wrong keyboard or with the
kvm switch switched to the wrong keyboard.
However I keep this enabled on all other machines, especially at my workstation
at home as I never have had the problem of accidentally hitting this sequence.
I often find myself using this sequence when some applications have hogged the
Xserver so badly that there is no other way of getting rid of it (and the
entire session).
I know numerous people who use this as the standard way of terminating an X
session instead of going thru a lenthgy logout procedure.
Therefore I assume that we will see a lot of bug reports if we disable this
feature by default.
So I opt against this.
