Yes. I'm not saying accidentally typing C-A-Bs is a significant factor in giving X a bad name - just that the cost-benefit tradeoff to me suggests the traditional behavior isn't really a good idea. > Except that every couple of years, a groups of vocal folks (presumably > newcomers) complains about it when accidentally hitting it, nothing > actually serious has happened. I'm not complaining for myself - but in this case I'd weigh higher the concerns of newcomers than somebody somebody who thinks they need a one-key-combination shortcut for killing X. I can't take seriously the complaint that switching to a virtual terminal to kill X is too much work - if that is the case, your workload is highly atypical ... (Lest you think I'm a newcomer: 20 years ago my day job at Digital Equipment Corporation was optimizing an X server driver.) -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
