yes, It is bad design, If you have a very common key combination that
a lot of people knows, (I am talking about Ctrl+Alt+Del to open the
login prompt on Windows), and another one Ctrl+Alt+Backspace where
Backspace and Del are very near each other on many keyboards. This
case is extreme on my laptop (thinkpad) Del is just over Backspace,
and I have seen a few people, try the Ctrl+Alt+Del sequence on
screensaver locked sessions
So, to come back to an argument oft-repeated in this context ... how hard would
it be for users who need this change to just put something in xorg.conf or
remap the "zap" key combination?
