So we're disabling ctl-alt-del too?

If killing the X server is causing data loss, then there's a bug in your
applications. In fact, that's an argument for ctl-alt-bs to be a regular

... And still doesn't address the fact that the key combo could be
changed to something more obscure rather than disabling it completely.
