Ignoring for now the fact that practically 100% of Ubutu newbies will
come from Windows, I forgot to mention (and NoOp's post in another
subthread reminded me of this):

Did you ever try C-A-D in Ubuntu? Go ahead. It brings up the logout
dialog.

So, we have the perfectly benign "official" shortcut C-A-D which gives
you a dialog and options, and a tiny distance away the big honking kill
switch C-A-B. Good usability design? I don't think so.
