Ok, i get your point from ubuntu being simple etc.
Not sure it will help them in the long run, as they will have to hard boot 
when xserver hangs and maybe never know that ctl alt backspace was ever a 
option
(It is a pity this is from upstream where Arch, fedora etc will all also  
'dumbed down' too)

Like you say it is not a problem for the power users, just a small irritation.

I image that the developer of Ubuntu tweak program will just have one more 
thing to add to his program for jaunty :)

Stay Well
