I have to agree with Jesse on this. It sounds like you are getting a lot more
exercise than a SysAdmin should. ;-)
I am surprised that you have so many systems on which this is apparently a
problem and yet you do not do provisioning where a simple config change would
resolve it. Even without provisioning for installs, any config provisioning
would easily handle this.
I am also a SysAdmin, and I do (very rarely) use this key combination, but
certainly not often enough to see this as a big deal. There are soooo many
ways around this change and around the need for the key combination in the
first place.
This is a big deal because now some tiny minority has lobbied for
changes to X that end up affecting a large community. And the bogus
arguments about user getting confused about keys is just that totally
bogus. I've never had a user complain about X control key
combinations. Emacs users complain because Emacs wants to have the same
key control sequences as Xorg. That's just wrong. And as a sys admin
if you're not willing to stand up and say that's wrong, then watch for
more ridiculous changes coming your way in the future.
I wish you luck in your upstream fight
There shouldn't even need to be a fight. It's a totally ridiculous
change based on bogus arguments to begin with.

Gerry
