Nothing says that a new "oh crap" key system couldn't be
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace as well; what key it is exactly I see as distinct
from what the key provides.  Though as for which specific key,
unifying it with Ctrl-Alt-Delete would make sense to me, but I
appreciate the backwards compatibilty/habit argument.
