DontDoThat is the solution. I'm not changing the default because it is easy to configure it however you like. One could just as easily argue that if it were changed to DontZap, that if XFree86 dies in any way that they can't use the three finger salute to kill the X server and thus had to hit reset and lose data. There is no one solution that will work for everyone. That is why it is a configuration option. As an alternative, could you maybe add a checkbox in Xconfigurator? Me, I don't find it that easy to change; you have to restart your X server to get it to pick up the change, and the config file is pretty obscure (that's why Xconfigurator exists, after all). A novice would never find it. Better still would be a change to the X server which would have it check the config file when C-A-BS is pressed, so that it could be changed without restarting the server (you could even have a setting in the GNOME control panel). |
