Forget to cc the list This is just normal behaviour. You can disable this behaviour within the Xfree Configuration file. (Option "DontZap" "boolean" ). So there is nothing about it. It's just for the user/admin to configure X so it doesn't react on the key combination. If you consider this as i flaw i guess you can consider pressing ctrl-alt-del on the console, making the machine reboot, a flaw as well ;-)) Patrick -- "Warning: you are logged into reality as root..."
Which before anybody considers that a 'flaw' can be disabled by commenting out the relevant line in the inittab.. [uidzer0@jupiter uidzer0]$ cat /etc/inittab | grep -i ctrl # Trap CTRL-ALT-DELETE ca::ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -t3 -r now -- uidzer0
