The emacs conspiracy is getting seriously tired now...

*grin* Not a bad suggestion.

There are some very vocal users that don't like the change. I had a
look at the man page for xorg.conf and one argument that's been
floated here is that applications grab focus and then misbehave.

Has anyone looked at and tested the AllowDeactivateGrabs and
AllowClosedownGrabs options in their xorg.conf instead of blindly
relying on C-A-Bs to shoot the server in the head? If they still have
keyboard interrupt, these options may actually be a better solution
than killing the entire X server.

Just a thought.
