Why in hades would you be reaching for control-alt-del and expect data 
intact or no harm to occur, but complain if you miss and hit 
control-alt-back?

And the reason you're killing the session is because the session is 
screwed up to begin with. How the hell does it prompt or warn when my 
screen consists of a pointer and lots of wavy, stepped jitters? That's 
assuming that the server is still in a state to even respond to a prompt 
in the first place!

All this bitching over an obscure key combination when far more of my 
users kick the damn power cable out "accidentally" or rest their foot on 
the switch on the power bar. Why not complain about removing that hazard 
for awhile on the list?
