Is "accidentally hitting it" really the only reason? If so, the simplest
thing to do would be to CHANGE THE KEYBINDING not remove functionality.
Change it to oh, I don't know, ctl-alt-del? quadruple-bucky-cokebottle?
You've got ~101 keys to work with, I'm sure we can find something
acceptable.
... Or is there another reason?
I'd prefer a system where X.org wouldn't have any keyboard shortcuts
at all. Things would just work and I wouldn't ever need to Zap X or go
to a vt to fix things.
Of course, the world isn't perfect, and there probably is need for a
global shortcut to kill or restart X, among other things. However, it
would be nice if X eventually got rid of everything ctrl-alt-something
(Zap, vt switches, resolution changes, etc.) , so that the
combinations could be used for more useful purposes, and replaced them
with less intrusive ones, if any, as default.
