Openoffice has autosave/crash recovery, so this would not happen.

Ctrl-alt-bs doesn't reboot the kernel so your filesystem loss scenario
is at odds with reality.
...which means that the alternative (which *is* to hard-kill the entire
system) is far more destructive than c-a-bs; thus, a reason for it to stay.
I'm confused; both of you seem to feel that c-a-bs is better than no c-a-bs?
