Why do people at redhat and/or x.org seem to think the zap feature is
trivial or unimportant or not useful?  I hate to burst your bubbles,
but despite all the cool things X can do, ctrl-alt-backspace (as
simplistic and trivial as it is) is probably one of the most useful,
cool, recognizable features in X.  If you asked a newbie what is the
coolest feature X has, they would probably say ctrl-alt-backspace.  Im
sure it makes everyone at x.org cringe.
