Er, so Ctrl-Alt-Backspace kills the X-server (quite efficiently, and 
with no confirmation). This is bad (for example, when Ctrl-Alt-Backspace 
happens to match an Emacs incantation).

Since Xwin plays nicely with the system tray icon for exiting, is there 
any reason to listen for Ctrl-Alt-Backspace? I can think of two reasons 
-- compatibility with XFree86 convention across platforms, and 
preserving keyboard accessibility. I'm not sure that either one is very 
important here.

The least disruptive fix is probably to make Ctrl-Alt-Backspace invoke 
the same confirmation dialog that the system tray icon invokes.

Thanks,
JT
