Users killing their X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is not by any means 
a rare occurence.  We all wish it were.  And in the total tens of 
millions of worldwide installations, the use for that purpose, far 
outweighs any usage among the tiny Emac user community.   And further, 
the impact to making such a change becomes an entire worldwide problem.  
If Emacs users have a problem with a keystroke conflict then they need 
to create special xorg.conf files that eliminate that conflict for 
them.  And not expect the entire world to have to put up with a hugely 
disruptive change all for the benefit of one small community.
