Here's some feedback to traffic I thought would be appropriate here.

I was reading this via a link from lwn.net and the story about
Control-Alt-Delete in Ubuntu got my attention.
I've been useing slackware for many years and (especially on KVM switches
that contain both linux and windows machines) have had to deal with this
issue with text-mode linux systems. I found that on slackware there is an
entry in /etc/inittab
# What to do at the "Three Finger Salute".
ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t5 -r now
that if commented out made the system immune to the CAD both in X and out
of X.
could you pass this along to the appropriate people, it seems like ubuntu
should have something similar to trigger a shutdown and that should be
able to be re-programmed to fire up a different program.

There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to make it so
simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other way is to make
it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies.
