Feature changed by: ke Feature #302988, revision 12 Title: Don't Zap by default openSUSE-11.0: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important SLED-11: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important Requested by: coolo@novell.com Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: We have this long standing issue that ctrl-alt-backspace is exiting the desktop without much the user can do about it, while every **** web site asks you if you want to discard random information if you browse away. While the zap functionality is useful for some and essential for some situations, where your X server is broken _and_ the keyboard combination is not _that_ easy to trigger, shutting it off completely is not preferred. So we discussed and what seems reasonable is press once -> beep, press twice -> zap. Egbert and Luc say this can be implemented in the X server and then we can leave the option on by default. + Documentation Impact: + yes Discussion: #1: coolo@novell.com (2007-11-27 13:36:58) If this feature can't be implemented by let's say alpha 2 due to other constraints, I would like to change the default to not zapp for beta1. #2: michl@novell.com (2007-11-27 14:41:40) fully in agreement with coolo. Do it with few effort asap or leave it. #3: sndirsch@novell.com (2008-01-05 13:07:34) Sounds like extortion to me. Not nice. And won't help in the end. People will complain again and we need to revert it again. #4: lverhaegen@novell.com (2008-03-20 02:12:54) Implemented in server and input driver code. Mailing patches to sndirsch for integration into packages. The Sax (or whatever) integration needed to specify this option at install time still needs to be done (i have no clue there). Implementation details: xorg.conf: Option "ZapWarning" "True" Uses PCSpeaker for beep. Press once, beep. Press again within 2s (which is ample), terminate. Documented in xorg.conf manpage. Users will be _so_ thrilled about this cool new feature in openSuSE. #5: sndirsch@novell.com (2008-03-20 16:21:16) sax2, which sets this option by default, xorg-x11-server and xorg-x11- driver-input has now been submitted to STABLE. ==> FIXED for STABLE/Factory *and* openSUSE 11.0 Beta1. -- SUSE Feature Tool: http://partnerfate.suse.de/?rm=feature_show&id=302988
