Heh - turns out my testing was broken :)

The 00-system-setup-keyboard.conf change has been there all along in f15
(timestamp on my system is back in April when I first installed this box from
alpha and doesn't seem to have been updated since).

Yep, I was there at the time.. adding the config option back in for users who
wanted it just never seemed like such a big deal to me..

I assumed when I installed f15 alpha for the first time it was to make life
easier testing gnome-shell - I had a few occasions when I needed it during
alpha/beta and it was on by default.

When Reindl first asked I assumed something had changed in post-GA f15 - I
re-tested and it didn't seem to work - I added DontZap false, checked again and
it was working.

Problem is my testing was flawed - the first time I tried it (when it appeared
not to work) I was using synergy from another machine. After restarting X with
DontZap I tested from the physical keyboard.. It turns out that ctrl-alt-delete
appears to get filtered out somewhere when it's coming from a remote synergy
client.

Reverting everything back to how it was originally and zap is definitely on by
default in f15 (via XKB).

Regards,
Bryn.
