like she does
in windows. She doesn't know the difference between that and
c-a-backspace anyway, and the only visible difference for her is that
full reboot takes slightly longer.

Running this in rawhide doesn't do anything particularly special. The
app crashes, certainly, but input continues to work afterward. Haven't
tried with F10 yet, maybe it's worse there.
The mouse cursor disappears and becomes completely nonfunctional. Also,
you're stuck looking at the upper left 640x480 corner of the screen. For
best effect your desktop should be at ~1280x960 or more before running
the test. Note the gnome-display-properties applet doesn't even fit on
the screen.
Sure hope Aunt Tillie knows how to log out using only the keyboard. Oh
wait:

Though I guess you can just wait for the timeout... (Yeah yeah,
supposedly fixed in F11 :)
