No, I hadn't heard - and I follow _this_ list pretty religiously, so I'd
have to imagine there's a conspiracy to prevent actual users ever finding
out :-)

Surely it could be a configurable option (I can't say I'll really care - I
use it maybe once a month, and can manage without it, but it seems like a
really odd thing to do).  And really what's the problem?  So it restarts
the X server.  You only do that _once_ accidentally.  It has only recently
stopped doing things so drastic on Windows.
