Same here, except I sometimes have a nagging worry about whether
everything is going to be properly cleaned up. I mean, is it actually
specified somewhere that Ctrl-Alt-Bspace is *exactly* the same as doing
a desktop logout?

Also, I've had situations where even Ctrl-Alt-Bspace doesn't work.
Either X is frozen or the machine is so slow it isn't responding (it can
be hard to tell which). Happened to me yesterday in fact when I tried
the desktop switcher in KDE 4.2. Of course the standard logout isn't
going to work either in this case, but it's frustrating that this still
happens even after a gazillion years of X development.
