"The Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination currently “zaps” (hard-restarts) the X server, and thus loses any unsaved data in applications, etc. This key combination is also largely undocumented, so users (probably ex-Windows users) may press this key combination without expecting data loss. This spec proposes to follow upstream’s lead and disable this key combination by default in order to prevent this usability issue from occurring in normal installs."

Don’t do it! We need Ctrl-Alt-Backspace as we need Ctrl-Alt-Del, and I don’t care what thinks an ex-Windows user.
Because X isn’t as stable as we want and I don’t think is an usability concern like some may think.
It’s an standard, something you expect to be there when you need it. Please, don’t break Jaunty’s X-Window!
