Probably the fact it's not being used "when things just work" and is 
only _necessary_ in situations of emergency/"when thinks go bizarre"

"Infrequently used" == "unnecessary"?

Some food for thought: How to quit X when X comes up but the 
window-manager fails to come up?

In recent days, this has happened several times to me on FC10 (reason 
yet unknown, probably somebody having messed up something related to 
nis/yp, nfs, autofs). My escape: ctl-alt-bs.
