Ugh, no, another 13 characters taking space and hiding
more of the subject line. :) >

It's a RH patch. The Red Hat metacity source rpm contains 
this in metacity.spec

Summary: Metacity window manager
Name: metacity
Version: 2.6.3
...
Patch2: metacity-2.4.13.90-ctrlaltdel.patch

The patch is attached to this email, but essentially it just
adds the keybinding.

I've seen this question before (not just from you),
but I don't know the answer.
