Ctrl+K+X may not work on some keyboards. Ctrl+Alt+Z, Ctrl+Alt+A,
Ctrl+Alt+P may be a legitimate sequence in some program.

We are not talking about a reboot, we are talking about killing, and
optionally restarting, the graphics subsystem. This is not something any
casual user should *ever* have to do. Ever. If somebody *needs* to kill
X using an emergency key combo, and they are not devs, then something is
wrong somewhere down the line.

Or, to put it another way, distros should default to "DontZap", except
for Gentoo. :3

(And Slackware, and Arch, and LFS. Sheesh.)
