There was recently discussion about replacing ctrl-alt-backspace with
something more complicated in Ubuntu's X (I saw it on the debian-x
list). I suggested to just enable DontZap by default; power users who
need to zap should be able to figure out how to enable it. I don't know
what came out of that discussion though.
