Yes, it does appear not to be possible to assign ctrl-esc to a
command.  That still does not make it an issue for the development
list.  The best thing is to check on launchpad whether there is
already a bug for that and if not then to submit one.  Note the this
is not with a bug in gnome-system-monitor as it appears to apply to
any command.  I suggest assigning it to Unity.  You can submit a bug
using

ubuntu-bug unity
