[Fate 302988] Don't Zap by default
Feature changed by: lverhaegen Feature #302988, revision 10 Title: Don't Zap by default openSUSE-11.0: Candidate Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important SLED-11: Candidate 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. 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. -- SUSE Feature Tool: http://partnerfate.suse.de/?rm=feature_show&id=302988
