** Summary changed:

- Beagle crashes upon attempted client load from keyboard shortcut
+ A warning should be popped up when a user selects a potentially dangerous keyboard shortcut

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: beagle
+ 
+ Original title:  Beagle crashes upon attempted client load from keyboard
+ shortcut
  
  I assigned the key sequence Ctrl+Alt+F12 to Beagle's search window in
  GNOME.  While beagled is running with options "--debug
  /usr/lib/beagle/BeagleDaemon.exe --bg", I attempted to open the search
  window by pressing the appropriate keys.  This resulted in my display
  being lost to a blinking cursor.  I couldn't recover from the state in
  any way, and had to force shutdown.
  
  What I believe to be the relevant log messages will be attached in the
  file that I upload as part of this report.
+ 
+ UPDATE:  Turns out, courtesy of nixternal from #ubuntu-bugs, that
+ Ctrl+Alt+___s are GNOME hotkeys, and that Ctrl+Alt+F12 is supposed to
+ take you back to a command line!  There was obviously no indication of
+ this in the Beagle search preferences window, and this could potentially
+ result in some very alarming and lossy situations for users who don't
+ know about it.
+ 
+ This is now really a Wishlist item...add a warning to the user when he
+ or she selects a potentially harmful keyboard shortcut for the Beagle
+ search window!

** Summary changed:

- A warning should be popped up when a user selects a potentially dangerous keyboard shortcut
+ A warning should show when a user selects a potentially dangerous keyboard shortcut
